It has come to my attention that the cemetery at Phillippi church in Northern Schley County is in need of ongoing maintenance to keep mother nature from reclaiming it. The church was disbanded in the 1970's as the members passed and since then it has been maintained by descendants using the contributions of kin and caring individuals. This well is running dry and while there are still plenty of caring folks, financing the upkeep of the old cemetery is a challenge. This is an all too common situation with many of our older cemeteries in this day and time. I know that several on this list have ancestors buried at Phillippi, I amongst them. If any of you would care to aid this worthy cause, a bank account has been established and contributions can be sent to: Central Bank of Georgia Attn/ Kenneth Phillips Phillippi Cemetery Fund P.O. Box 45 Ellaville, GA 31806 Checks should be made payable to the Phillippi Cemetery Fund. Phillippi Primitive Baptist Church was established in Feb. of 1835, while this site was still a part of Marion County. There is an awful lot of history that took place here. A transcription of the minutes of the church minutes up to 1900 can be viewed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/schley/churches.html Harris
