I know it's in Cobb Co., GA; I need to know the town and more specefics on the location---has it been surveyed as many other cemeteries on the internet? Thank you for any info.

Thanks to all who answered me about Doerun Cemetery. One name I am looking for is Daniel Shelton McLennan, born 11/14/1886-died 2/24/1959, Dougherty Co., GA. I also cannot find his first wife, Rose Adams McLennan, born 1886-died 12/16/1932. She died in Albany, but apparently was taken to Florala, Alabama to bury; however, I cannot find her there. I have contacted "The Albany Herald" to see if they kept old obituaries from 1932, but no one has called me back yet. Thanks again, Melissa

Is anyone familiar with Doerun Cemetery in Colquitt Co., GA? I'm looking for some McLennans buried there - can't find a website on it. Thanks. Melissa

There is also a Greer Family Cemetery that is right in the middle of a large apartment/condo complex. It has about 30-40 graves, most marked, a few unmarked. It is enclosed with a wrought iron fence around it. Some of the balconies in the complex are overlooking the graves. The gravesite is very well maintained. It is located off I-85 N @ Clairmont Rd. Exit. If you are going N on I -85 from downtown Atlanta, get off at Clairmont Rd and turn right. Go to Briarcliff Road and turn right then go to the first complex (St. Clair) and turn right into it. If you go to the office they will give you a map to the grave site. This is the burial site of my ggg grandfather Robert D Greer and his family. This gravesite is located on the site of his one time large plantation. Elaine Eaves Cox

That's the one, however, the enclosure is newer, originally it was chain link fence.

CSH grounds honored 2,000 markers lay in Cedar Lane Cemetary on the Central State Hospital grounds. There will be an unveiling of a new addition to the historic cemetery on Oct. 2. By Steve Marcotte - The Union-Recorder MILLEDGEVILLE - Three Central State Hospital cemeteries now have the distinction of being named on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Parks Service announced the honor for the cemeteries earlier this summer, which contains 25,000 people buried on the grounds. "We are proud to know that the Central State Hospital cemeteries are seen as historically significant to both Georgia and the nation," said Gwen Skinner, director for the Division of Mental Health, Development Disabilities and Addictive Diseases, in a statement from the Georgia Department of Human Resources. "These restored cemeteries will be a constant reminder of our past and the legacies of those who have left us but who are not forgotten." Larry Fricks, director of consumer relations and recovery section of Georgia Division of MHDDAD said the restoration project began on the cemeteries in 1997 to help improve the appearance of the historic site. The Department of Natural Resources was the lead agency that initially deemed Central State worthy of the recognition, Fricks said. "A lot of people buried there were Georgia citizens and their families. ... It is probably the largest cemetery of people with mental illness and disability in the country," he said. The hospital opened in 1842 and all people with disabilities were sent to Milledgeville until the 1930's, Fricks said. Some recent additions to the cemeteries as part of the restoration include a bronze angel as a symbol of hope and guardian looking over the cemeteries and a historical marker detailing the story of Cedar Lane section of the cemetery. Two thousand granite markers for black clients were moved in 1938 to make room for the Rivers Building, a tuberculosis hospital on the grounds, Fricks said. A marker was also placed at the site to commemorate the move. "The restoration project of the cemetery was a combination of state resources and also privately-raised money," he said. Initial funding was provided through the sale of a book outlining the history of CSH, "But for the Grace of God, Milledgeville: The Inside Story of the World's Largest Insane Asylum," stated a press release from CSH. $50,000 was privately raised and their was a combination of state and volunteer work as a joint effort on the project, Fricks explained. "The National Register of Historic Places is the nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation," stated a release from the HR Department. "It is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect historic resources." Fricks created a technical guide on the project called, "The Georgia Story: How to Successfully Restore a State Hospital Cemetery." "The federal government asked us to write a guide for other states on how to restore cemeteries and in checking with other states we have not found a state that had as many or more people buried on the grounds," he said. Eighteen states are currently in the process of restoring cemeteries, Fricks said. There will be a memorial ceremony to commemorate the restoration on at 2 p.m. Oct. 2, in the Mary Brown Pavilion on the grounds of CSH as part of Mental Illness Awareness Week. A new addition to the cemeteries will be unveiled. Steve Marcotte can be reached at (478) 453-1451 or by e-mail at newsroom@unionrecorder.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I am working with a city council person who is helping me to get a requirement placed in the City of East Point's Zoning Code which is currently being re-drafted. It is a requirement that developers provide a buffer around any cemetery they are building around in the city. (No, the state does not require it, only tells them they have to leave it undisturbed). The state says that while they do not require developers to provide a distance or a physical buffer, that City's and Counties can make it a requirement by placing it in the local code. Here is what I need... Does anyone on this list know of a georgia CITY or COUNTY, ( A City is prefered) that has taken measures to add protections for cemeteries in their zoning code? Moreover, buffer requirements. I need to contact that city and get a copy of their draft to see how they worded it so that the council person I am working with can use it as an example as far as the wording goes.

S.K. I believe The city of Decatur in Dekalb County has this ordinance; there is an old family burial plot that was protected, enclosed with brick and fencing by developers when a large mall was built years ago. The Mall is in Dekalb County. You can probably find via "google". There was an article in the paper about the cemetery and the preservation a few years ago in Atlanta (Atlanta Journal).
