Old Troup Factory Cemetery
LaGrange, Troup County, Georgia, USA
From "Brooks of Honey and Butter, V. II" (1971) by W.H. Davidson, page 361:
"On the east side of Flat Shoals Creek, a Troup Factory Cemetery occupies a hill top site with a view to the southeast. It is slightly beyond and behind the village site of Troup Factory, which was on the hillside and faced west and northwesterly towards the mill and creek.
Begun as a burial ground for whites of the community, many Negroes were later buried here.
The cemetery is very near the old roadbed, on the right, where high banks define this early road to Hamilton in Harris County. Paved highway U. S. 27 parallels the old road for part of the distance up the steep incline from the Flat Shoals Bridge.
Cedars, hollies, hardwoods and pine trees grow in the cemetery. Some of the graves, the earliest, are covered with rock tombs. They are built up in the pioneer style, but otherwise unmarked. There are many graves marked only with a rock at head and foot. Only two are now marked with monuments."
This area is approx. 10 miles south of LaGrange on Hwy. 27 towards Pine Mountain.
