Ergle Cemetery
Bankhead Highway, Douglasville, Ga.
The following inscriptions were copied by Joe Baggett in February
1977. The small cemetery is adjacent what was then the Solid Rock
Baptist Tabernacle, on Bankhead Highway west of Douglasville, .5 mi.
west of Bright Star Road at the quarry entrance.
John Ergle, May 15, 1811-May 23, 1912
Mary, wife of John Ergle, April 18, 1825-July 16, 1881
Ella Ergle, April 9, 1871-March 3, 1917

About 14 unmarked graves, most infants; three marked “Infant
sons of Rev. and Rebecca Hix.”
(Note: Census records show that John Ergle, formerly of
Lexington District, S.C., was born in 1815, not 1811. His
wife was Mary Price of Lexington District. The Hix markers,
made of a concrete-like material and painted with white
paint, are almost illegible.)
