Do You Know Someone Who Is Buried Here?

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Hundreds of unmarked gravesites line the grassy hillside of Mulberry Street Cemetery. Thanks to ground penetrating radar, we know the locations of these sites; however, we do not know the identification of these individuals. Please contact Troup County Archives if you have information about individuals who may be buried here.
