Other Information
An enclosed section appears to be older, marked
by an old iron fence. Some graves have been recently marked with wood
crosses; debris and garbage looks piled in areas as though someone tried
to clean it up in past years but never finished. Handwritten sign marks
it as a private, family cemetery. Kemp family in Forsyth dates back into
the early and mid 19th century
