Thanks for the information, Douglas. Have you by chance compiled from these
family records the burials that could have been made in this cemetery? The
Athens Historical Society did a lot of work in the early 1990s trying to
locate every cemetery in the county - the book of the marked graves was
published in 1999. But there's no mention of the GANN cemetery off Timothy
Road! Would appreciate that information to add to the files.

I don't have a copy of the Oconee County Cemetery book handy to check to see
if they found it.

I did find these GANN markers in the Oconee Hill Cemetery:

In the old section: West Hill Lot 158
Gann, William H. 1850 - 1912 [joint marker with Sarah below]
Gann, Sarah Joiner 1866 - 1931

In the new section:
