Sandra, The McFarland Cemetery was cleaned off last year and so far twice this year. That is except the very back of it which is rather grown up. I was at the cemetery last week making photographs for a lady in OK who has ancestors buried there. This is a large cemetery but most of the graves only have concrete blocks marking their sites. A few of the tombstones are broken and are on the ground. Whoever is cleaning it is taking no pains to avoid damage to the few tombstones remaining. I'm not complaining... they are cleaning it or most of it anyway. I mentioned to Bill that the McFarland Cemetery had not been included. If I had known when I was there last week I would have taken my GPS with me for the readings although it might be hard getting a good reading since the trees are in full leaf. I'm by there a couple times each week and will give it a try.

I was sorry to see the Old Mc Farland Cemetery was not included. I went on a genealogical journey in 1994 and it was one of my stops. I had a very difficult time finding it. When I did find it, it was so over run with weeds I couldn't see hardly anything. All I took home with me was a tick. Too bad no one takes care of the old cemeteries. bclody <bclody@charter.net> wrote:Driving directions for all of the US Government Identified Cemeteries in Walker County (which will omit some of the smaller family cemeteries) but not ones like Pleasant Hill have recently been posted on the Walker County GAGenWeb Website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gawalker/Walker/cemeteries/index.html Site main link is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gawalker/ Bill Clody County Coordinator GAGenWeb Regional Coordinator Northwest Georgia GAGenWeb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Becky Roberts" To: Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 5:05 PM Subject: Re: [GAWALKER] Fugatt - Walden Cemetery > Ramona, > Since I am not from Walker County, the best I can do is give your the > description from the cemetery books: > > Mount Pleasant Cemetery > > The Mount Pleasant Cemetery is located on Lookout Mountain.
