In 1855, a 1-acre family graveyard was excepted in a deed of sale for the BAILEY plantation, which encompassed all of Land Lot #61, the north half of Lot #36 and the north half of Lot #29 in the Fifth Land District of Carroll County, Georgia. This plantation was said to be on the road from Palmetto to Carrollton. Dingler Crossroads lies just about at the center of Lot #29. The burying ground was near the residence of Robert S. & Elizabeth "Betsey" (COPLAND) BAILEY, according to personal knowledge of Dr. Joseph Robertson HOOD (1833-1924) as related in a letter he wrote to his great-granddaughter on 18 MAR 1920, who stated that when Robert S. ADERHOLD was killed during the Civil War, his body was shipped home to be buried here. Now often referred to as the Sparks Cemetery, it is located in Lot #61, in General Militia District #729. From the intersection of Banning Road and Hutcheson Ferry Road (a.k.a. Dingler Crossroads), go west on Hutcheson Ferry Road 3,344 feet, crossing a small branch, to the second small dirt road on the left side. From there, go 525 feet to the top of the hill. The cemetery is on the left, with a sign marking it. It is on the top of a hill overlooking the Snake Creek Reservoir. Note: this cemetery is on private property, said to be owned by Temple Inland Co., who sell hunting leases on it. There are several deer stands along the road to it. Surveys conducted by Mrs. L. K. HACKNEY of Cross Plains, Georgia, in or before 1983, and by Sam PYLE and J. P. ROWE on 17 FEB 2004, report 10 marked graves, and a total of 58 graves, many of which are marked with only field stones as head markers or head and foot markers, but which have no identifying markings. One ledger (slab) marker with no markings was reported, as well as one stone crypt (grave of Solomon STICHER). This cemetery has also been surveyed in the mid-1870s by Miss Dora AYRES, as reported by Linda S. AYERS , and also surveyed(date?), as the "Stisher-Ward Cemetery," by Eleanor S. Davis
