Fitzgerald Cemetery
Located near 773 Rock Springs Road between the interstate and Moreland Drive, near the creek. The stones are in a field beside the road and are hard to find because of the overgrowth. Two stones were not found in 2002. We don’t have much of a “cemetery overview” for this one, because we aren’t sure that these stones weren’t thrown here and actually belong somewhere else.
