This Secluded Cemetery Is The Final Resting Place of Iconic Native American
If you've lived in or visited Forsyth County Georgia for any length of time, you've probably run across the name of Young Deer, in the form of a boat park, or the name Tidwell. Young Deer was born in the 1820's and was a native and full blooded member of the Cherokee Nation, whose headquarters were located in the Forsyth area before it was relocated later. Young Deer left Forsyth County around the same time that the Cherokee moved their hub, and relocated to Allatoona Town with his young wife. There he settled, becoming apart of the pioneer community, leaving a legacy that lasts even today. His remains are buried at the secluded Bethany Baptist Church on Red Top Mountain, where his grave is still tended today.
