Hi Mike,
I am very interested in this cemetary. My ancestor on my mother's
line, Joel Brewer, donated at least part of the land for this
cemetary and the little church. Joel named one of his children,
Benjamin CAMP BREWER, after the first minister there. Joel had
been the Ordinary of Polk County from 1870 to his death in 1898.
Benjamin Camp Brewer became a judge in Hall County. It is odd
after all of these years to find a connection between my father's
CAMP line and my mother's BREWER, line. If you have any information
regarding the cemetary/church/Brewer's I'd love to know.

It is a shame regarding the damage that storm did. A tree planted
near Joel's grave uprooted, toppled his monument and generally
messed things up.

Thanks for your interest!
Carole
