JOHNS CREEK, Ga. â For years, the Macedonia African Methodist Church Cemetery has been used as a dumping ground for lawn debris and garbage.
Tucked behind homes in the St. Ives neighborhood and up a gravel drive off Medlock Bridge Road, many are unaware of its existence at all.
Kirk Canaday first learned of the cemetery in 2017 when residents were campaigning to fight construction of billboards in Johns Creek. He has been dedicated to the project ever since.
âItâs one of those things, something needs to be done, and it wasnât being done,â Canaday said.
The cemetery lies just behind homes in the St. Ives neighborhood. Lawn debris and other trash regularly shows up on the grounds.SYDNEY DANGREMOND/APPEN MEDIA
