'I was looking at the site today and that you might want to add to the note about Mama Shaw and her sisters that the gravesite is at the Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery at Fish Creek in Polk County, GA. Its west of Rockmart less than a mile south of the highway to Cedartown. It's on a hill near the church. Joel Brewer donated the land for a church and cemetery and his grave is on the crest of the hill. Lots of other kin are buried there too.

You probably have that info elsewhere but a note about the location might be good with the pic. Their baby brother is buried in the same lot ... I think it's the other grave in the pic. I assume that this pic was taken soon after they put up a new marker for their mother. It looks new.'
