Jewel, This cemetery must still be there .It is listed in a cemetery book that was published in the late 90's.I was a Cravey . I sent Julian some of the pictures I have many more along with documents, obits, marriages, death and many other items. I have been doing research for about 13 or 14 years.

THIS IS MY GRANDFATHER, JOHN JACOB & GRANDMOTHER REBECCA (CALLED AUNT BECKY). CRAWFORD, THE BABY ON GRANDMOTHER'S LAP, DIED YOUNG AND HIS GRAVE IS (WAS) NEAR THE HOMEPLACE NEAR MILAN. I WAS BORN AND RAISED WITHIN HOLLERING DISTANCE FROM THERE (THE HOME OF GUS AND JULIA CRAVEY) AND VISITED HIS AND HIS BROTHER'S GRAVE UNDER AN OLD CEDAR TREE JUST DOWN THE LANE FROM THEIR HOME. THAT LAND IS NOW OWNED BY JEFF WILLIAMS AND AFTER HE TOOK CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY ONCE OWNED BY GRANDFATHER, WE WERE NOT PERMITTED TO GO ON THE LAND AGAIN, ALTHOUGH I COULD SEE IT FROM THE PAVED ROAD. SINCE THE WILLIAMS' ARE NOW IN CONTROL, I DON'T KNOW IF THE GRAVES ARE STILL THERE AND PRESERVED OR IF THEY'VE BEEN PLOWED OVER AND DESTROYED. CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A CEMETERY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE I COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH IN TELFAIR COUNTY? THANKS A LOT FOR THESE OLD PHOTOS. MY MOTHER HAD THIS PHOTO AND IT HUNG IN OUR HOME FOR ALL THE YEARS SHE WAS ALIVE UNTIL 1997.
