From Demorest take Central Ave south about a mile, turn right onto Hwy 105 and continue for about 4 miles. Cemetery will be on the left, about .5 mile after intersection with Hwy 116.

Cemetery owned and maintained by the Return Baptist Church in Demorest GA. It is in a very neat condition and still in use.

I compiled this on Feb 15, 2005 from tombstone inscriptions when I walked the cemetery. This includes all known burials up to that date.
