I have visited the old Stone Creek Baptist Church cemetery and I found it to be as was described below. In fact I could find only one broken headstone there. I had talked with the pastor of the church some time ago and he said that loggers cutting trees in the area ran over the cemetery with their heavy equipment. Apparently this was because it was so overgrown that they could not see the headstones which were likely fallen over when this occurred. Wayne Bowden Gray, Ga --- "James O.
