Plant Scherer
Cemetery I:
This cemetery, which is located on property formerly owned by
the Zellner family, contains eight smaller cemeteries relocated from the project
site. In most cases the orientation of the new site is identical to the original.A
few of the cemeteries, however, were reconstructed in a more orderly fashion than
the original site.
Any differences between the original site and the relocated
graves is noted in the following description of the graves.
The entire relocation
tract covers an area of 3.11 acres. There is a chain-link fence surrounding the
entire site and one running through the middle of the tract separating some of the
cemeteries the following from others.
Plant Scherer Cemetery is the name
of the relocation area those cemeteries were moved to. Plant Scherer is a
Georgia
Power electrical generating plant and I assume the cemeteries were relocated
to their plant site.
