If you were a fan of S-Town, you likely wondered about the final resting place for John B. McElmore. I visited a few years ago and was impressed with the handmade headstone. I believe this was made by Tyler Goodson. He rests in the cemetery behind Green Pond Presbyterian Church in Bibb County.
Fergerson Cemetery was founded in 1907 when Minnie, Alice, and Annie Feegerson donated land to start a cemetery for Black residents. Since I took these photos a few years ago, there has been an effort to restore the cemetery and document as many burials as possible. It sits next to Guyton Cemetery, which was initially only for white residents.
This is a family cemetery located near DuPont, Georgia.
When I visit cemeteries, it’s rare that I will see a mixture of vernacular and stately headstones. Groveland Cemetery is one of those rare combinations.
Through a grove a trees in Bryan County is this small cemetery near Groveland.
