Plant Scherer Cemetery I:
This cemetery, which is located on property formerly owned by the Zellner family,
contains eight smaller cemeteries relocated from the project site. In most cases
the orientation of the new site is identical to the original.A few of the cemeteries,
however, were reconstructed in a more orderly fashion than the original site.
Any differences between the original site and the relocated graves is noted in the
following description of the graves.
The entire relocation tract covers an area of 3.11 acres. There is a chain-link
fence surrounding the entire site and one running through the middle of the tract
separating some of the cemeteries the following from others.
Plant Scherer Cemetery is the name of the relocation area those cemeteries were
moved to. Plant Scherer is a Georgia
Power electrical generating plant and I assume the cemeteries were relocated to
their plant site.
