In this episode of Adventures Into History, I return to the historic Pierce Chapel Cemetery with Mrs. Linda McCardle for part two of our exploration. This time, we focus on the Fortson, Bowden, and more of the Reese (Rees) families—families whose names still echo across Harris County, Georgia.
Pierce Chapel Cemetery, nearly 180 years old, holds countless untold stories. Some are tragic, while others are tied to infamous or notorious chapters of local history. From the family plots to the hidden details etched in stone, every grave tells a story about the people who shaped this land—through hardship, struggle, and legacy.
Join us as we uncover forgotten stories, document unique graves, and connect the threads of history that still linger in this quiet, sacred place.
