If you are speaking of Old Bethlehem Cemetery in what used to be Milton County I
can help. Until just after the turn of the century (19th) Bethlehem Methodist
Church was next to the cemetery.
It is in Alpharetta, Fulton County, Georgia now. My 2nd Great Grandparents are
buried there (Jonathan & Mary Thompson PACE). My Great Grandfather (George
Robert PACE) buried his first wife there. She was said to have been the last
person buried in that cemetery before the church moved.
Here are my notes from my last visit there.
"I have visited his grave many times. The site includes his wife Mary and the
unmarried adult children. Just finding it in the early 1980's was an adventure.
It was in the middle of hundreds of acres of land being consolidated for
development. There was nothing there but abandoned farmland. It is now in the
middle of the Windward Complex in Alpharetta. North Point Mall is nearby. It
is at the corner of Clubhouse Parkway and Lake Shore Overlook. This is less
than half a mile south of Windward Parkway at the entrance to the Lake Shore
development."
