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.

Vanishing North Georgia Photographs by Brian Brown · A visual survey of Georgia's historic architecture
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?
Tim- They are quite rare in South Georgia. These particular grave houses have been removed, sadly.
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.
Look at the one at Oklahoma Baptist Church in Wilcox County. That one is on Vanishing South Georgia.
Thank you for these grave houses-any idea what the reason was for this practice? To protect or honor the graves? I have ancestors in Henry Co that had this over their family plot in the woods, and sadly, the wooden structure is long gone. I suppose the wood had become rotten through the ages.
