We found the cemetery easily, and pulled in to begin our search for Smiley's Grave. I wasn't even 100% sure it existed, but I had a good feeling about it. We passed by a corner that had a pile of dirt and some grave liners piled up and waiting. Creepy. It was a good sized cemetery, and seemed to be divided into two sections, Mills Cemetery on one side, Garland Cemetery on the other. We parked and started wandering on foot, and oh man, there was a bad smell––very, very bad smell! It was all throughout the entire cemetery, a horrible smell of rot and decay and, well, things dead. It was an extremely hot and humid day, so maybe that had something to do with it, but it was bad. I have never been in a cemetery that smelled like that before. |
