The cemetery connected with the lutheran church in Haralson is located approximately 2-3 miles from the current church structure. The cemetery sits on the corner of Glazier and Gordon Road with the entrance being on Gordon. This cemetery is rather secluded and obscurred by trees. Some of the more common names seen here are Gable, Taylor, Counts, Addy, Thompson, and Caldwell.
For convenience sake, I am giving each row in the cemetery a letter
classification. Each stone in the row has been given a number.
As you face the cemetery from the gravel drive, the row on the left
hand side is Row A. The first stone you come to is number one.
Thus, the first stone is A1.
