In 2006 I began photographing headstones in the small cemetery located on the grounds of the Evans Chapel C.M.E. Church near my father’s house in Preston, Georgia. Because I don’t visit the area often it will take some time to complete the project. I share the photographs and index with the USGenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project (http://usgwtombstones.org/georgia/webster.html). Also of interest is an old one-room schoolhouse near the church. Interestingly, my family happens to own the small piece on land that the schoolhouse sits on. Sadly the schoolhouse is in bad shape and may not be standing long. If money was no object I would see that it was restore.
