Williamston Town Hall, now sits on the property that was once The female college. To my knowledge there are no markings of a cemetery close by. There is a New Prospect Church and Cemetery in Williamston, about a mile from the old college site. J.C. Rush and C.J. Vandiver established the Williamston Lumber and Planing Mill in 1895. I have a sketch of the old mill and it shows it by the railroad tracks. The mill later added a flour mill and ginnery. There was an old gin, now torn down, where the Williamston shopping center now stands, just behind city hall. Caesar applied for a permit to preach in Georgia. According to the book "A town Springs Forth", he was buried in the field in the rear of Williamston Female College, now City Hall. Land he once owned.
