Timmerman Cemetary, Aiken County, South Carolina
(privately owned and maintained)
Traveling North on Route 191, travel 4/10ths (.4) miles past the intersection
of Piper Road, in Aiken County, Aiken, South Carolina: Look to the right, and
in the middle of a Rye field, you'll see some cedar trees, and the location of
a private family cemetery.
I want to thank a Mr. E. Harley, (72 years young) for his permission to record
the inhabitants of his family's private cemetery (and a way to get to it from
the road :-). This area is quite pretty and very well kept.
