Mr. Garrett and I also discussed his publishing the Necrology. He was
trying to decide what format to use. He commented that he really liked the
way my book was set up and that the Library had ordered a copy for him.
The original notes or some of them were in file folders there at the Atlanta
History Center and I looked at the file he had on Forsyth County. His Forsyth
County Records seemed to be limited to those private graveyards along the
roads right at the County line between Fulton and Forsyth. I found one
individual grave that I had not already found. It was a single burial on
Campground Road. From memory and not from my files, I believe it was a Rogers
man. I remember how neatly printed it was (on a yellow lined pad) and he had
copied everything on the stone (verse and all).
I think his main problem was that he really didn't want to leave anything out
and that he wanted to be able to present it in location order, name order and
with notes on the people where he had records. (It is hard to choose)
I copied some Fulton County Cemeteries in the area of Ocee. They have never
been published.
