CRAWFORD COUNTY, GA - CEMETERY Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church ***************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm *********************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: James Allen jallen46@cox.net Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery is located in Crawford County, Georgia just over the county line from Bibb County on U.S. 80. The church is no longer called Mt. Paron Primitive Baptist Church, but is now named Bethany Bible Chapel. The Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) reading for this location is 32 degrees 47.905N, 083 degrees 52.153W 421ft. The photographs of grave markers were taken on Saturday, December 18, 2004 and are images of grave markers that were the most legible to read. There are many grave slabs in this cemetery that have no information such as a name or date of birth or death. There are many grave markers that have caved in over time and others that have not been taken care of by relatives. It did appear someone had gone around the cemetery and cut down trees that had grown up, around or over markers and were causing damage. The listing was begun at the left rear of the church and goes around the right side. Below is the markers I was able to document and take photographs of the markers: Ida E. Jones "Wife of W.A.
