Location: In pasture of Clark Jones' Property, Nursery Road, Flowery Branch. Information furnished by Mrs. Edgar Loggins who lives in back of property. Cemetery was used before Flowery Branch was a town. No person has been buried here in the past 50 (plus) years. Many graves. All markers destroyed by pigs. Mrs. Loggins remembers seeing the following two names: MARTIN, Hannah and TANNER, Charles d. buring Civil War. (This is copied from Sybil McRay's book on Cemeteries of Hall County.)

I (Wesley T. Martin) first visited this cemetery in the 1970's. It was grown over with huge oak trees and only two tall marble stones were visible with many fieldstones. The stone for William Charles only had "Death is the Crown of Life" and the stone for Elizabeth Charles had "Come to Me". There was one fieldstone with Hannah carved on it.
When I visited this cemetery years later the tombstones had been removed. The next time I visited it, a trailer park had been built near the trees and trailers surrounded the trees as they do today (2013). I have run the deeds on this property and it goes back to the Tanner family. Many of the old deeds set aside one acre for burial purposes.

I (Wesley T. Martin) visited this cemetery to take pictures on 7-27-2014. I found a few fieldstones which appear to mark graves behind the fence in back of home at 6115 Geinesville Street (formerly Nursery St.). There was only one grave with a headrock and footrock. There were several other fieldrocks and one broken tombstone. This small plot is not the complete acre which was set aside in several deeds for this cemetery.
