Brantley County Cemetery Information

          It is unknown by me if there are any current cemetery preservation projects going on at this time. I do know that Brantley County residents are very active in recording, and maintaining cemeteries as best they can.
          There are several however, that are endangered, and in very bad repair. Many have been vandalized by careless people who think it okay to dump household trash in them [items such as washers, dryers, couches, car parts, anything too big for a dumpster or illegal to dump].
          To me, this is the biggest concern, and should be addressed by the citizens of Brantley. The cemetery lists and transcriptions were provided by Walter Kenneth Sylvester of Ware County, Georgia, for use on the GlynnGen.com website.
