BURGESS FAMILY CEMETERY
NEAR DITNEY KNOB, FANNIN COUNTY, GEORGIA.

THE TWO GRAVES IN THIS PLOT ARE MARKED VERY POORLY WITH FIELD
STONES. THE GRAVES ARE IN THE WOODS JUST DOWN THE HILL. TO THE
LEFT, FROM THE GATE OF A NEW REAL ESTATE DEVELOPEMENT. TO
REACH IT GO OUT HWY #60 SOUTH TO WILSCOT CHURCH. WHERE THE ROAD
FORKS TAKE THE LEFT FORK AND FROM THERE ON FOLLOW THE REAL
ESTATE DEVELOPEMENT SIGNS TO ITS GATE.

ACCORDING TO MR. NELSON DAVES, WHOSE FAMILY HAS LIVED IN THE
AREA FOR ABOUT 150 YEARS, THE GRAVES ARE A FATHER AND SON BY
THE NAME OF BURGESS. THEY OWNED THE LAND AND HAD LIVED NEAR
WHERE THEY ARE BURIED. THEY DIED DURING THE DEPRESSION IN
THE 1930'S. >>
