Douglassville Cemetery

Williamson Petty (1820-61), Sulphur River ferryman, donated land for this cemetery from a claim which he settled in 1850. Col. John C. Douglass (1818-63), from Georgia, bought in 1855 all of the Petty claim not previously reserved for school and church. The cemetery took its name from his town of Douglassville. The earliest legible stone (1859) marks the grave site of Mrs. Henrietta Cook and her infant twins. Additional land was acquired in 1928 and 1939. The cemetery has about 400 graves and a governing association. – Historical Marker Text. Marker erected 1976.

I have been dreaming of and loving this area in northern Cass County, approximately three miles south of State Highway 77 on the Cusseta to Linden county road, since I was a very small girl. I was born and grew up in the Cornett area and driving along the road to Hughes Springs over the high hills, we/I would look into the beauty of the Cusseta Mountains with my father telling the family the mountains were named by his grandfather John Robin Heard.
