lot
- a grouping of graves,
often of family members. Lots tend to be rectangular in shape and are numbered
within each side and section: for example, East side, Section F, Lot 5.
The lots shown on the map often, but not always, conform to the original
1935 map's designation. Some lots have no identifiable graves, but most
lots have one to as many as 30 graves.

Directory, compiled and written by Sally (Sarah) Cantey Whitaker Allen (1865-1942),
with the assistance of Louis H. Andrews (1866-1944). This directory is a limited
production, self-copied book containing the first major indexing of the cemetery.
It is presumed that much of the information contained in the book was provided
to its authors through first-hand experience or family members. Copies of this
book may be found in the City of Milledgeville's City Engineer's Office, the
Mary Vinson Library of Milledgeville, and the Baldwin County Courthouse.
