Shaw Cemetery - Lithonia

Shaw Cemetery

This is an abandoned cemetery on Old Covington Road. It is badly overgrown although there does not appear to have been any vandalism. There are a good many stones that appear to have been tombstones, but are not readable. Several stones are laid off to the side in thick brush. There are also areas that appear to have been laid out as plots, but there were no visible stones and the weeds to deep and thick for me to explore it any further. The next time I go, I'll take a weed-eater with me!

Does anyone know who else is buried in this cemetery?
