Valerie, Hollonville is in the upper northwest corner of Pike County. It is about an equal distance from Hollonville to both Meriwether (east) and Spalding (north) county lines. Beeks appears to be about 2 1/2 miles due east of Hollonville on Highway 362. From Hollonville going west on 362, it is about 2 1/2 miles to Meriwether county. Another road leading out of Hollonville and going southeast is called the Hollonville Road. About 3 miles from Hollonville on the Hollonville Road, you can turn left on Beeks Road and go to Beeks which is on Highway 362. (The three roads, Hollonville Road, Hwy 362 and Beeks Road, form a triangle laying on it's side with Hollonville as it's apex.) Hollonville Cemetery is about 1/4 mile from Hollonville on Hollonville Road. The Coggin Cemetery is off Beeks Road, just about midway between Hwy 362 and Hollonville Road. Just before you turn on Beeks Road off Hollonville Road, there is a cemetery on the map that is not named - this may be the Horton Cemetery. Williamson is about 6 miles east from Hollonville on Highway 362. From Williamson, which is close to the Spalding County line, 362 goes to Griffin. Pike County is surrounded by Meriwether on the east, Upson on the south, Lamar on the west and Spalding on the north. I hope this is not confusing and you are able to create a mental picture of the Hollonville area. VCJFreeman@aol.com wrote: > Where is/was Beeks? Is it near Williamson & the Spalding County line?

If anyone would like to see a map or two showing this area in detail, let me know and I will put them on my website, which would take me about 5 minutes.
