COVINGTON, Ga. – In a split vote, the Covington City Council approved the relocation of an abandoned cemetery at 5377 Eagle Drive after plans for a memorial garden and limitations were added to the application. Councilwoman Hawnethia Williams, who previously voted against the cemetery’s relocation, said she had a change of heart during the work session prior to the meeting. “Had not they come before us to let us know that there had been an unearthing of this many persons or graves then we would not know about them,” she said.
