Hargraves Cemetery

Welcome to Hargraves Cemetery

Nestled in the serene landscape of Atkinson County, Georgia, Hargraves Cemetery is a historic resting place located on Tom Tanner Lane, Axson, GA 31624. This intimate cemetery is situated in a field off Russell Road, just west of the Seventeen Mile River, and near the Coffee County boundary. It offers a peaceful and picturesque environment surrounded by the natural beauty of forests and fields originally cultivated by the Hargraves family, notable early settlers in the area.

Hargraves Cemetery is a small family plot with three marked graves, though there may be others that remain unmarked or whose markers have been lost to time. In 2024, the cemetery underwent a thorough cleaning and clearing, restoring its tranquil ambiance amidst the surrounding farmland. Despite the agricultural activities over the years, the cemetery itself remains untouched and preserved, providing a quiet and respectful space for reflection.

Please note that Hargraves Cemetery is privately owned and is distinct from other cemeteries bearing the "Hargraves" or "Hargreaves" name in neighboring Ware County. It is also conveniently located next to the Seventeen Creek Event Venue.

For those interested in genealogy or local history, Hargraves Cemetery holds a unique place in the heritage of Axson, Georgia. We invite you to visit and pay respects to the memories and legacy of those who rest here.
