"Cemetery is located outside the town of Villa Rica at the
corner of Hwy 61 and Pumpkintown Road. One portion of the
cemetery has quite a few downed trees that are covering
an area that looks to hold a family plot. We attempted to
crawl under some of the branches to look at the plot.
None of the graves we looked at contained any names.
There were field stone markers for head and foot for each
grave.
"There is another area to the left of the cemetery
entrance that also looks to be a family plot. This area
is 10-12 feet wide by about 40 feet long. It is a cement
block raised plot containing 8 to 10 graves marked only
with white painted field stones; large stones at one end
and smaller stones at the other. Again this looks to mark
head and foot of the individual graves. There are no
markings on any of the stones in this plot." ~ Wanda Duke, March 1999, on USGenWeb Archives
