  Update:   This site was recently known as “Hillenmeyer  Nursery”. Hillenmeyer’s sold the property to Ball Homes, Inc. in early part of 2005. The cemetery is just off Sandersville Rd , near the intersection of Greendale Rd. When visited in March of 2006, Ball Homes employees removed a lot of brush and tree debris. They also marked perimeter of site with orange construction flags.
