SHURLEY/HANCOCK CEMETERY
Old Knoxville Rd.
Crawford Co., Ga.

Transcribed by: L. Andrews

This Cemetery is located on Old Knoxville Rd., about 1 mile from the intersection of Knoxville Rd. and Ga. 42. Very hard to find, requires a lot of walking.  The Cemetery is enclosed in a fence that has a lock on the gate. There are indications of graves outside the fence but not sure. Not being able to get inside the fence I was unable to get one grave with a small inscription on it.

Mary Alice Hancock
(Wife of Ruben William Hamlin)
1863 1916
Alcy Ann Shurley
(Wife of Green C. Hancock)
1822 1918
Polly Corine Hamlin
(Daughter of Mary A. & Reuben Hamlin)
1885 1916
G. S. Hancock
(Son of Alcy & Green C. Hancock)
1862 1899

A big thanks goes out to Lewis Andrews for submitting this information!

Additional information from Rollin Middlebrooks:

Mary Alice Hancock was the daughter of Alcy Ann S. Hancock.

Three small children, two boys and a girl are buried there.  David Herman Hamlin the girl buried there burned to death when the fields caught on fire.  Polly Hamlin and the children have cement markers that I made with engraved brass plates marking each grave. The lot used to have a home made road going up to it.  It used to have a long chain between two posts.  It was taken down in the 1980's when the relative who kept up the roadway died.  My grandmother was the daughter of Mary Alice Hancock Hamlin.  Her name is Lois Hamlin Bailey of Macon and she is buried in Macon Memorial Park in Macon.  She along with all her 11 brothers and sisters are now dead.

Thanks Rollin!
