Bernhard Family Cemetery
AKA: Standard Cemetery & Rawls Cemetery
Henry Co., Georgia

This is the family graveyard of Jacob Bernhard and his wife, Esther Lites, whose graves are marked with large un-inscribed fieldstones. Descendants also spell the name Bernhardt.

It is located on lot #214 in the 3rd District near Luella, Henry Co., Georgia on the Towaliga River. It is off of Hampton-Locust Grove Rd, unmarked, on private property and way back in the woods. It is between the Griffin and Atkin's places.

The ALLEN/BERNHARDT/WEEMS/RAWLS connection was pretty strong, by marriage and friendship. In order to get to the old family cemetery in Henry Co, you have to turn onto a dirt road that runs right next to the old WEEMS plantation. The plantation house survived Sherman's March because of some favor to Mrs. WEEMS.

There are many unmarked graves.
