This cemetery is located off south on Hwy. 216 from Edison, GA. Turn right onto Co. Rd. 16. Proceed to Parksville, approximately. ½ mile west. The cemetery is .7 miles on the right in a large wooded area. This is Conner Collins’ farm. This cemetery covers about two acres and was fenced at one time. Portions of the old fence are on the ground. A conservative estimate of the depressions found here would be over 200.
