Walk among the Georgians who came before.
Conyers Cemetery is a long-established rural burial ground in the Climax area of Decatur County, with graves that reach back to the mid-1800s. When volunteers photographed every marker across the winter of 2014 and early 2015, they found more than 130 stones so weathered that the names could no longer be read, and these had to be recorded simply as unknown. The surviving inscriptions place it among the older cemeteries in this part of the county.
