Geddie Cemetery
aka: Willis Cemetery
Visited 3/18/2001, transcribed by Vickie Stevens
This cemetery is located off Geddie Road, west of Tallahassee, on the State forest within the Wildlife Management area on the main road about 200 yards down on the right. Established about 1850 or earlier. All the stones are in good shape and it is well maintained.
[There are no Willis headstones but there are maybe 10 unmarked graves]
