Cemetery Hunting Trip Goes Wrong

Searching for Cemeteries. The adventure is in the journey….even when I don’t find the cemetery.

My cemetery hunting trips don’t always go as planned.

Last week, as I was hunting for a cemetery atop a mountain, in a storm, miles away from civilization, and without cell service, my van broke down. Luckily, I was able to turn around on the narrow mountain road. I coasted down the mountain and limped back home at 25 MPH. I found a YouTubing mechanic who has a video detailing the exact symptoms of my van’s problem.

This video does not feature a specific cemetery. Sometimes, the adventure is in the travel even if we don’t reach our intended destination.

Singleterry (or is it Singletary?) Cemetery is located behind a quaint white church tucked away in the North Georgia hills. I visited, the grass was growing long. Long grass is to be expected during a wetter than normal North Georgia summer.

Interestingly, this cemetery provides another example of divergence between a colloquial name and an officially registered name. Our records show that the official name is Singletary Cemetery. However, the cemetery sign clearly states that the name is spelled Singleterry.
