According to my Grandmother's stories ( which I just verified with my Aunt who lives up there still) Traveler's Rest at it's center point was located a bit further west than Kelley's Crossroads Grocery toward the Coosa River. There is another road that turns right off of Hway 22 West of Rockford and west of Kelley's Crossroads that led right into Traveler's Rest Community. My Grandmother, Versie Kelley Gandy, used to tell me a story of a coon hunting trip her older brothers, Tol,Hiram and Henry, went on with some friends near Traveler's Rest, where a rabid dog came up to their campsite and started attacking their coon dogs. The boys all climbed up the tree and so many got on the same limb that it broke and they fell into the middle of the mad dog altercation. She said it kept them from coon hunting for quite a while.

Anybody know in what area of the county Traveler's Rest was located? Is it known by any other name today? Or near the Providence Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery? Any information greatly appreciated.
