Father of the Town

— 1814 - June 24, 1855 —

Buried here are Willis P. Menefee and his mother Nancy Collier Menefee (Feb. 6, 1771 - Dec. 2, 1852).

Major Menefee donated his land for businesses, schools, parks and the Palmetto Methodist Church and gave all land necessary for the Atlanta and LaGrange Railroad.

Because of Major Menefee this spirit of kindness and generosity still prevails in Palmetto.
