    1. [GA-CEM] Wilcox Co Graveyard
    2. Hello, Everyone: I don't get to Wilcox County much, but today I took a drive. Coming from Vienna in Dooly County, on GA Highway 215, just outside of the Pitts city limits, I found a graveyard. It was a good ways off the road in between a couple of farm fields. One side appeared to be cotton, the other might've been soybean. The graves were mostly from the early 1900s, but the most recent one was from 2000. And there seemed to be even more graves that were "unseen." Just a feeling. There was no dominant surname, so I'm thinking it was a community cemetery at one time. Another point is there were very few "fancy" headstones. Most were basic concrete with the least amount of writing possible (i.e., B 1 1 1905, D 10 13 1979). Can anyone tell me anything about this cemetery? Is there a name? Did/Does it serve a particular community/family? Thanks, Stephanie
