Cemetery Description: The Job Taylor Family Cemetery is a small cemetery located on land now occupied by Georgia power cooperative buildings. The cemetery has been left undisturbed by the new usage, honoring those interred there and respecting their descendants. In 2011, the University of Georgia Management Development Program – MDP (Instructor: Walt McBride), in conjunction with Carroll EMC, Sawnee EMC, Georgia EMC, Greystone Power, and Jefferson Power, lead a project to refurbish the cemetery. The cemetery was named after the patriarch of a large Monroe County family and plantation owner dating back to the 1800s. Many descendants still reside in the region.
