Salem (Cholera) Cemetery is located in the southeastern part of Section 33 of Buckheart Township. Follow Route 78 in a southerly direction past Canton until you reach Oscar Linn Rd. Turn right on Oscar Linn and continue on this road until you see a pond on the right-hand side. There's a grey gate and a fence that's runs in a northerly direction. Follow the fence (on foot) for about 1/4 mile. You will see the abandoned cemetery on the right. Wouldn't it be wonderful if a few concerned citizens would be allowed to clean up one of the oldest cemeteries in Fulton County? Thank you for listening!

As you can tell by the pictures, the cemetery is completely overgrown, with the remaining broken stones clustered around the huge old tree in the center of the picture.
