This is located just north of Warthen. The grave houses of James & Mary Garland are an important feature of the small cemetery.

As of 2016, the grave houses have been removed for some reason.

    Hi Brian,

    I have seen grave houses in North Georgia, and in North Carolina, but very few south of the mountains. Have you found many in south or central Georgia?

    It’s a shame they are gone; I am going to look for grave houses as I travel. Thanks for recording all this so beautifully.
