McCough African American Cemetery
By Larry Childs
This cemetery located on Maynard Mill Road. From Forsyth
take State Highway 42 to Maynard Mill Road. Once you get to the intersection
State Highway 42 and Maynard Mill Road turn right go about 200 yards and watch the
left side of the road. The cemetery is in still in use today but not kept up. It
is over grown and tangled with vegetation. It appears this may have been a
separate family cemetery on a different piece of land and others started using
the adjoining lot for a cemetery also.
I was not able to find any record for a name for this
cemetery. There area bout ten unmarked Burials in the older section in which the
below names are located.
There about thirty others in the newer part with most
burials from 1959 - 1997 Any information on this cemetery will be appreciated.
