Yesterday was a huge day for family history. For starters, Julie, Joseph, and I headed out in search of the fabled Davis Family cemetery. We were confident we could find it as we had directions from two uncles, an aunt, and our mother. Of course, nobody bothered to mention which way we were to turn onto 319. Well, duh. You go right! (Would've been good to know about five minutes ago...) The only written directions we had were from 1970 and were as follows:
"Davis cemetery is located on the right side of the road approximately one mile behind Tarver Price's Store, which is on 319 North."
Oh, ok. That makes everything crystal clear! Actually, our family was able to give us great directions and we found it with little trouble. Here are the directions, for future reference.
From Augusta, take Deans Bridge Road/Highway 1 through Wrens to Louisville. Stay on Hwy 1 for about 14 miles and then turn left onto Hwy 24 and continue about 5 miles. Then take a left onto US 221 and go 7 miles to Bartow. At the blinking light, turn right onto 319 and travel for about 7 miles. Greenway Cemetery Road will be on the right. The cemetery is about a mile down the road on the right side.
