Hi,
In Columbus, GA in the 1800's we had the Clapp Factory on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Close by the Clapp Village was built for the factory workers. Later a cemetery was placed on the hill over-looking the Charrahoochee. The Clapp Cemetery records seems to be lost.
Known buried:
Mary Catherine Skipper (b. Nov 28, 1825 - d. Sep 10, 1880) daughter of Isaac W. Woods and Eliza/Elizabeth Patterson, wife of Jacob S. Skipper (son of Silas S. Skipper and Esther/Ester)
John P. Lewis (B. Dec 12, 1812 - D. Feb 10, 1886)
Grave of a child, J.F. Cain no dates
Other family names rumored to have been buried there:
Hopkins, Miller, Warren, Watson (several years back Ms Watson told other locals she had 14 family members buried in the cemetery) and Bird.
There are suppose to be 20 Confederate soldiers from Georgia and Alabama there. Also American Indians and Slaves are buried there.
The reason for the email is the land the cemetery is on was purchased in the 1920's by Georgia Power. Georgia Power feels it is not their responsibility to take care of the cemetery and that is a job that the families should be doing. At this point in time, I need to attempt to find as many descendants of the deceased buried in Columbus Georgia's forgotten Cemetery.
Ultimately we would like to have the cemetery cleaned to the point that descendants could actually visit the graves. The cemetery is a jungle. This is a job that will have to be tackled during fall or winter. It is also a monumental undertaking. . . there is no way this would be a day's work. I have already been in touch with several descendants, several local Historic societies, several local historians, Sons of Confederate veterans, and Daughters of Confederate Veterans asking for guidance and help. So far all agree, if it can be done it will be monumental.
But if you look at it as being part of your heritage to take care of your ancestors graves and we all work together, we could make the Clapp Cemetery a true resting place for those buried in a beautiful place so long ago. You are taking to time to find out where you came from. . . we are all story telling of our family history. . . add a chapter as to how you help save a forgotten resting place of loved ones.
Thanks for taking the time to read my email. . . if you know or think you have family members buried in the Clapp Cemetery in Columbus, GA, please let me hear from you.
Happy family hunting,

Hi all,
In an attempt to verify the spelling of some names sent by another lister, I used my "Columbus Georgia 1828- 1978 book and I found a section in there on "Antebellum Manufacturing" It mentions J.R. Clapp whose factory caused a village to be built later a cemetery. Recently the Clapp Cemetery has come up in some emails and it has sparked some interest in readers. If any of you has information of the Clapp Factory, Village and Cemetery, please share it with the me.
thanks,
kemis
