The Story

This is the municipal burial ground of Cumming, the seat of Forsyth County, and its graves reach back into the 1800s. Its most notable resident is Hiram Parks Bell (1827-1907), a Cumming attorney who went on to serve as a United States Congressman from Georgia. Bell's grave, recognized on Find a Grave as both a veteran and a famous memorial, gives the cemetery a direct tie to the county's 19th-century political history.
