Bailey Family Cemetery
Pollards Corner, Columbia, Georgia, USA



Cemetery access is on gated property owned by Pollard Lumber Company.

Take Hwy 150/221 from Pollards Corner intersection about .6 mile. Look on the right for a dirt road with a locked vehicle gate. Once the gate access is permitted, the cemetery is approximately .4 mile from highway.

Time has taken its toll on the cemetery, leaving it in bad condition. It is approximately 15x25 ft in size and encircled by a brick wall. Only one marker is upright and clearly visible, although there are several unmarked grave sites and stone fragments. Only two broken markers were able to be confirmed by matching pieces located on/in grounds on this date.

The Old Bailey Home Place foundation is nearby, verified by the U.S. Gen 2010 Survey report.

Notes: The cemetery is indicative of a family of means. It is surrounded by an "ornate brick wall". Part of a cast iron gate remains. A section of wall has an indention for a marble nameplate, now missing. The only readable marker at this time is the small marble obelisk for Willie Bailey. There are numerous pieces of gravestones and evidence of above ground vaults. The area is in need of repair. Other family members who may be buried at the site are, Mrs. E.T. Bailey, Mrs. Mary J. Bailey, Mary Bailey and John Bailey. These names are from fragments of stones and the 1880 U.S. Census for this household.

Surveyed 27 Apr 2010 by Ben Robeson and James A. Hall, Sr.
