This is one of Perry's older burial grounds, a shaded tract where mature oaks hung with Spanish moss shelter more than two thousand graves along a creek. Among those laid to rest here is Dudley Mays Hughes (1848-1927), who represented Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives in the early twentieth century, giving the cemetery a notable place in local and state history.
