Hi Judy, Yes, I noticed that 1998 burial, also. This cemetary contains both relatively old and very recent burials. If you do visit the Coursey Cemetary, then go up Springfield Rd. from Coursey Cem. Rd. and enter Screven Co. Then, turn onto Pryor Rd. (it's the first county maintained dirt road to the right once you enter Screven Co.) and go about two miles (or a little less) and you'll come to the Eneck Cemetary. I think that Nancy would be interested in what you might observe there.
