Hello, I am new to this list. I live in Ohio. I am trying to determine which cemetery these family members are buried, the BLOUNT Cemetery or PEAVY Cemetery. They are a little over a mile apart on what is now Hwy. 100. I have visited both. The Peavy Cemetery has room for about 30 graves in the fenced in area, although only 4 graves are marked. The Blount Cemetery is in very bad condition with no markers. If Freeman and wives had not been buried in the Peavy Cemetery, it would be a no brainer! My source for these notes is the "Meriwether Vindicator". December 5, 1884: Local Topics Yesterday morning, Dr. Terrell was crossing the LITTLE CREEK NEAR MRS. BLOUNT's ON THE HOGANSVILLE ROAD 2 MILES FROM TOWN when a runaway horse with buggy came dashing down the road in front of him. The doctor steered his horse as near the edge of the deep gully as possible. The buggy struck the wheel of Dr. T's buggy throwing the doctor forward to the ground. His face, nose, mouth and eyes were severely bruised, the skin being taken off in many places. He rode to town with Mr. Freeman Blount. His injuries though severe and painful are not serious. (Note: This Mrs. Blount is Nancy Blount, widow of Freeman W. Blount, Sr.) * * * October 12, 1888: Local and Personal column We regret to hear of the death of Mr. H. H. Walker which occurred at his home at Oakland last Monday. HE WAS BURIED TUESDAY AT THE BLOUNT HOMESTEAD NEAR GREENVILLE. He was a good citizen. (Note: This was the husband of Paulina Blount, daughter of Freeman W. & first wife, Sarah (McDaniel) Blount.) * * * December 13, 1889: Local and Personal column There will be a sale of perishable property of Mr. F. W. Blount tomorrow, Saturday, at THE OLD HOMESTEAD NEAR TOWN. Mr. Blount is selling out to remove to Alabama. We are sorry to lose him as he has always been a true friend and good citizen. (Note: This is Freeman W. Blount, Jr.) * * * December 13, 1889: Sheriff Sales Georgia, Meriwether County Will be sold before the Court house door in the town of Greenville within the legal hours of sale on the first Tuesday in January, 1890 the said county and state to the highest bidder the following property to-wit: One undivided seventh (7th) interest in 440 acres of land, more or less, in the 8th district of Meriwether county, Ga., being the place whereon Mrs. Nancy E.

Blount, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Meriwether county. Mrs. Blount was born in Lee County, Ala. April 20th, 1843; and hence, at the time of her death, lacked one week of being forty seven years of age. She united with the M. E. church, south, in 1859, in Newbern, Newton county, Ga. She lived a consistent member of that communion, until about one year before her death, when she connected herself with the Presbyterian church, to which her husband and oldest child belonged. For about one year, she was a sufferer from consumption, and leaves a husband and six children, four boys and two girls, to mourn her loss. Her aged father also, and several brothers and sisters survive her. In her last illness she was submissive and patient, calmly trusting the power, love and wisdom of her heavenly Father. Cheerful and uncomplaining in her afflictions she doubtless realized, that her divine Master was working "all things together for good to those that love him". She was fully aware of the serious nature of her illness, and some time before her death told her pastor "that she trusted everything to her Savior." She had no fear of death, as far as those around her could see, and passed away as quietly and sweetly as a babe falling asleep in its mother's arms. Her funeral was preached by Rev. Mr. Hughes, preacher in charge of the Greenville Methodist church, and HER REMAINS WERE DEPOSITED IN THE FAMILY BURIAL GROUND, NEAR THE "OLD BLOUNT HOMESTEAD." May a kind, heavenly Father comfort and console the sorrowing ones left behind, plant his saving grace in the hearts of her children, and early engage them in his divine services. W. E. D. * * * December 12, 1890: Mr. Peavy's Death (buried in the Blount/Peavy Cemetery) Mr. John W. Peavy, brother of Hon. G. L. Peavy, died at his home five miles north of Greenville, last Friday and was BURIED SATURDAY MORNING AT THE FAMILY BURYING GROUND NEAR THE RESIDENCE OF MR. VIRGIL BIGGERS. Mr. Peavy was born and reared in Meriwether and was about forty years of age. He married a daughter of Hon. C. W. Williams, his widow and several children surviving him. Mr. Peavy had been in feeble health for some time and his death was not an unexpected event. The deceased was an energetic farmer until broken down in health, kindly and social in his intercourse with his friends and a man of pronounced feelings and opinions. We knew him when a little school boy and remember him then as a most gentle and unassuming youth, affable and pleasant in his deportment with his associates. He was true to his friends who will cherish his virtues and honor his memory. (Note: This cemetery is the Peavy Cemetery. The only other marked graves are those of Freeman W. Blount and his two wives, Sarah and Nancy Blount.) * * * November 18, 1898: ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE Georgia, Meriwether County. By virtue of an order from the court of Ordinary of Fulton County, granted at the September 1897, will be sold before the court house door in Greenville, Meriwether County, Georgia, on the first Tuesday of December, 1898, between the legal hours of sale, to the highest bidder, the following described property to wit: Fifty acres of land, more or less, off the southeast corner of lot of land No. 221, in the 8th district of Meriwether County.

Blount, deceased. * * * May 11, 1900: Death of Miss Carrie Blount Last Saturday, after a long illness running back through several years, Miss Carrie Blount passed away. She bore with great fortitude her long illness and her life left ample assurance that all was well with her. She time and again gave expression to the fact that she was prepared to die and that when the grim reaper came he would release her from earthly pain and usher her into an eternal peace. She was a daughter of the late Freeman Blount. Miss Carrie left a brother, two sisters and a host of friends who mourn her death. SHE WAS INTERRED AT THE FAMILY BURIAL GROUND TWO MILES NORTH OF TOWN. Truly a good woman has gone out from among us. Our loss is her eternal gain. * * * January 3, 1902: Blount Creek It is difficult to perceive why those who are in charge of looking after public roads and bridges will permit a place to become well-nigh impassable before ever taking any steps to remedy the evil. The CROSSING AT BLOUNT'S CREEK, TWO MILES NORTH OF THIS CITY, ON THE HOGANSVILLE ROAD, has for the past month or longer been almost impassable for loaded vehicles and is now daily becoming worse. The citizens of the county pay a heavy tax and are entitled to roads that can be traveled. It does look as if this would be a sufficient notice to those whose duty it is to repair this road. Meriwether people, which cemetery do you think it is? I want to get a marker for my great grandmother, Mary Jane Blount, wife of Eli H. Blount. But I don't know which cemetery she is in! Betty G.
