Graves that are not in any particular lot are listed as lot 0. Those that appear in lots with other graves are marked with a lot number greater than 0. Graves are numbered in the order in which they were surveyed in the cemetery, from front to back. Cemetery condition This large cemetery is overgrown and covered in briars. It contains many graves marked with small granite blocks or unmarked slabs. There are also many graves with no markings whatsoever. It is difficult to estimate the number of graves, and graves may have been missed because of the overgrowth. Lucius Holsey In 1868, Bishop George Foster Pierce (1811-1884), an important figure in the history of the Methodist Church in Georgia, granted a license to preach to Lucius Holsey, a former slave who six years earlier had been married by Bishop Pierce at Sunshine. Holsey became a leader in the Colored (now Christian) Methodist Episcopal Church and had a long and distinguished career. This cemetery, as well as the two other Holsey cemeteries in Hancock County, are believed to have been named in Holsey's honor. Indexer(s) or Contributor(s): Kathy Fuller and Susan Harrington
