PELHAM, Ga. (WTXL) â Sunken graves with exposed caskets, trees are overgrown on top of plots, and water filling up open graves. For weeks, people who live in the area have been calling on the city to do something about it. That s the condition of the Pelham Cemetery on Liberia Street in Mitchell County. It doesn t look like a cemetery at all, said Teresa Jones. Her grandfather is buried there, but she can t find where, because his headstone is now covered by trees and vines that have taken over the entire back part of Pelham Cemetery.
