Pleasant Grove Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Moultrie
18 January 1899 – 22 December 1950
Ask anyone in Moultrie about the “elephant” and this is where you will be directed. Locals contend that this is the most famous landmark in Colquitt County and since it’s thought to be the only elephant tombstone in the world, the distinction seems appropriate. The life-size sculpture depicts Nancy, a baby elephant owned by Duggan, who had just bought a circus at the time of his death. As a boy, Duggan worked with elephants in various circuses and always favored them. His son had this sculpture commissioned after his death.

The Still was a landmark to travelers on U. S. Highway 301 for many years, advertised by numerous billboards between Glennville and Ludowici. It sold Claxton Fruit Cakes, Pecan Candies, and all sorts of Georgia goodies.
