McCough African American Cemetery
By Larry Childs
This cemetery located on Maynard
Mill Road. From Forsyth take State Highway 42 to Maynard Mill Road. Once you get
to the intersection State Highway 42 and Maynard Mill Road turn right go about
200 yards and watch the left side of the road. The cemetery is in still in use today
but not kept up. It is over grown and tangled with vegetation. It appears this may
have been a separate family cemetery on a different piece of land and
others started using the adjoining lot for a cemetery also.
I was not able to find any record
for a name for this cemetery. There area bout ten unmarked Burials in the older
section in which the below names are located.
There about thirty others in
the newer part with most burials from 1959 - 1997 Any information on this cemetery
will be appreciated.
