Originally surveyed by Wayne Carpenter in February 2000. These are his directions from Chattahoochee:
Take Hwy 269 South. Go 4 miles to Hardaway Road (paved). Turn left and go 3.6 miles. Turn left between
two big pecan trees into a field. Go .2 mile across field to the northwest corner. Cemetery is about [?] feet
into the woods and is not maintained. It has a steel bar picket fence around it.
Photographed by Angela Cassidy and Donna Warlick on October 23, 2010. We came from Gretna on
Hardaway Road and had no idea how far it was from east to west. Amazingly, we found the two pecan
trees opening into a field on the north side of Hardaway Road immediately east of Faircloth Road. The
cemetery was in the northwest corner, just as Wayne said, about 50 feet into the woods. It was a wreck.
Tree limbs had fallen on stones and completely covered them up, plus prickly trees, like crabapples
blocked our way into the wrought iron gate. We had to hack our way in. It's a terrible shame, because this
cemetery is on the property of people who are buried in it (Dennison). Anyway, we left it in better shape
than we found it. We tossed out as many limbs as we could, but it sure needs to be underbrushed.
First, there is a series of photos leading you to the cemetery and showing the overgrown state.
Then the grave stone photos follow.

| About 30 feet into the opening, you can see the cemetery, but just barely. |
| As you get closer, it looks worse. |
