    This was another absolutely lovely roadside cemetery in rural Georgia. Peaceful, quiet. Serene. The green grass glowing in the late afternoon sun. Crows. Rural Georgia, a beauty for the soul.

      After watching videos of old cemeteries in Woods, Forgotten, and many with Trees Growing in in them.
      I have RECENTLY TALKED BY EMAIL WITH A LADY WHO HAS BEEN TO MY FAMILY GRAVEYARD IN WOODS HAS TREES GROWING IN THEM.
      I can't comment more about where or details. But I -We my family Did Not Know WHERE it was exactly nor that it had Trees Growing in them.
      Can't tell you how much it means to me that I have found my FAMILY
      they were Settlers From SCOTLAND for witch I am VERY PROUD... as you can understand I won't comment much more. I have not been there yet as we are all staying home due to COVID-19
      but hopefully my family and I will Survive to SEE THIS
      And to just be in the same place they once we're ?
      Just lost my father 11/23/19
      It's sad he is not here to know I have found them.

    The PH on James Bryant's tombstone means Purple Heart! SWCA stands for Steelworker Construction Apprentice. Built stuff in Viet Nam. With out the street or county name, its hard to find the name of the cemetery. If you could put that in the description, it would be great especially for the military CSA graves to be honored.
