Having traveled past this memorial all my life, it was one of the first local landmarks I chose to photograph when I began doing the work for Vanishing South Georgia nearly a decade ago. This peaceful cemetery still fascinates me.

The marble statue of a Major John B. Mitchell is notable, so well executed that it’s finer than many county Confederate memorials.

The cemetery is the final resting place for many South Georgia pioneers and Confederate veterans.

This early enclosure is well-preserved compared to many, which have collapsed.
