From Americus go South on Lee Street (GA Hwy 377). About 50
feet past the city
limit sign, turn Left on Tommy Hooks Road. Go 0.8 mile to
field road in middle
of first field on Left. Follow field-road 0.4 mile to
woods. From there walk
(road is too narrow, twisted, and grown up to drive).
Follow road about 300 feet
until road turns to right and a faint road goes
straight ahead. The cemetery is
to the right front. Graves cannot be seen
from that point. They are scattered
throughout the woods. The woods have
grown up, bushes and vines have grown.
Trees have fallen all through the
cemetery.
The graves indicated on this report are only a small part of
those in the cemetery.
All the brick vaults have fallen apart. Almost all the
markers and slabs are
broken. There are dozens of other indications of
graves, mounds and depressions,
some with rocks as markers. Others have old
funeral home markers with no names,
etc.
NOTE: Graves may not be
aligned exactly as indicated. It is almost impossible to
keep in a line in
the woods and brush.
