Walk among the Georgians who came before.
The grounds beside Harmony United Methodist Church on Roanoke Road hold more than the congregation's own dead. When the Army Corps of Engineers cleared land across the state line in Chambers County, Alabama, numerous graves were relocated to a hill at the rear of the church property. Harmony accepted the deed to that land so the transplanted burials would be cared for, while its original churchyard remains beside the sanctuary.
