Contributed by Larry L. Ketchum, Mar 10, 2003 [xgkids@maqs.net] Total records = 19.

Location: To reach this cemetery from Millen, GA, take Hwy 23 northwest about eight miles, then turn left on Messex Rd. (dirt) and continue 1.7 miles to a dirt lane that runs northerly (right) through a pine woods. The cemetery is .19 mile from Messex Rd. at the end of the dirt lane.

This cemetery is enclosed by a chain-link fence and is well maintained by the Perkins family.
