I have lived in Oglethorpe County all my life. I can count at least 30 cemeteries on my 16 mile ride to work. That's just the ones you can see from the road. I love the history and connection to the past I get when I see these old graves. My brother used to work at a granite shed setting headstones. He told me the reason that so many old headstones have been turned over is because people are looking for old coins. That's what they used to level them with back then.
