Orphans Cemetery in Dodge County


 The life size statuary of Albert G. Williamson, Martha Buchan Williamson (his wife) and Jay Gould ( their nephew). A.G. Williamson donated the land for the cemetery in 1887 following the death of a neighbor's child, George P.A. Barnes. The community and the cemetery were named in honor of the six orphaned Williamson brothers who moved to Dodge County, GA from North Carolina in 1873-1874.
