Everyone has a story to tell, even the folks who reside in the Welcome All Road Cemetery. On November 11, 1934 James Jailette, 24, was driving his city dump truck in College Park when it ran up an embankment, then tragically turned over onto him. Eight year old Virlyn Guice was on his school's playground in Atlanta in 1929. Sadly some rocks he was playing on fell and crushed him. Dallas Hudgens was a much remembered, and loved, school bus driver in the 1930's and 40's. Pellie Scarbrough is there with her story, as is Sarah A. Smith. The monument to the son of the Campbell's who died in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II is there. Many others who are mentioned in this book lived their own fascinating lives and are buried there, too. Joy, pain, sorrow, happiness, you can find it all at the Welcome All Road Cemetery in the City of South Fulton, but without some help, their graves could soon be overgrown and they and their stories lost to history. Shirley Scarbrough Anglin, the author of this autobiography, and others are desperately trying to save these graves and the stories that belong to them. There have been cemetery clean up days, but few of the aging, remaining family members are physically able to help. One who did was an almost 90 year old soldier who had been wounded on Pork Chop Hill during the Korean War. He was at the cemetery on one clean-up day using a weedeater. Most of the relatives of those buried at Welcome All Cemetery are getting too old to push lawn mowers or swing weed eaters. Financial support to help save this piece of the City of South Fulton history is needed. The church that owned the cemetery, Welcome All Baptist Church, disbanded leaving the cemetery abandoned and in the care of the few, aging family members. The Welcome All Road Cemetery Preservation Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was organized as a way to bring necessary resources together to conserve and protect this sacred resting ground of many who lived in the Welcome All Community. Progress has been made. A gate has been erected to block people from dumping their garbage there. Thanks to a generous grant from the Scott Hudgens Family Foundation (son of Dallas Hudgens) dangerous trees that have grown in the cemetery can be removed. Your donation will ensure that the grass and weeds can be cut throughout the summer and make the cemetery a peaceful place for its residents and their families who visit. For other information, please visit www.welcomeallcemetery.org or contact us at [email protected]. James, Virlyn, and the rest of the folks buried there would appreciate anything you can do to help.
