Cole cemetery is in the woods about 50 feet to the east (left) of the road. As of 2007 it was very overgrown and most of the tombstones are broken down. Kristen and I transcribed all the tombstones we could find in 2007.
Directions:
From Tuskegee head west on US-80. Turn south on CR-13 and drive 0.6 miles. Turn right onto Copper Ln, an unmarked gravel road. There are a few houses on the right and woods on the left. Continue to the end of Copper Ln.
