African American Cemetery. Cemetery is on private property. It is located across the street from the Rush Chapel United Methodist Church. The approximate address is 1300 Rush Chapel Rd, NE, Rome, GA. The coordinates listed are from Google Maps. Cemetery is in a grove of trees between two houses. Although it is grown up, it is accessible. The owners of the property do not want the cemetery cleaned off because they think it will cause vandalism. If there are family members who would like to see it cleaned, I would be happy to approach them again and set up a work day. Maybe they would allow it to be cleaned so good photos can be made of the tombstones. Also, GPS coordinates could be taken then. It could be easily cleaned in one day.
