Captain Simons’ Unusual Burial | Campfire Tales
Head east out of Washington, Georgia, and you’ll find a lonely little grave surrounded by a moss-covered stone wall — the final resting place of Captain Abram Simons, a Revolutionary War veteran, tavern keeper, and horseman known for living life on his own terms.
Local legend says that when the Captain died in 1824, he was buried standing upright, musket at his side, so he could “meet the Devil face to face.” Some say that’s just how a man like Simons would’ve wanted it — proud, defiant, and ready for a fight.
