Looking for graves in Tennille, Georgia, USA

This is a bit of a fun one. I have death certificates for two family members, and they claim that the children were buried at the Ohoopee Church in Tennille, GA in October 1928 and April 1929. I went to Find a Grave, and there aren't any memorials in that cemetery that match, of the about 75% of the graves that are documented. I was wondering if anybody would be willing to go in search of the graves.

The people I'm looking for are John William Beckum (b. 1926, d. 1928; WikiTree ID Beckum-33)  and Dorothy Mae Beckum (b. around 1928, d. 1929; WikiTree ID Beckum-32). Part of what makes this so "fun" is that the family name is spelled Beckum on their parents' tombstones, but spelled Beckham and Bickham on the death certificates. I'm curious to know what the tombstones may say.

Thanks!

If you want to email me right before March 9th to remind me I could see about heading through there on my way home from Jacksonville on March 11th. :)

Okay! I'll let you know if nobody else gets it by then. Thanks!
No problem! :) I've actually been to Tennille myself. Quaint little town who has at least 2-3 railways running through it.
Charlotte,

I thought I'd remind you about this, as your trip is this weekend.

Thanks!
Oh yes! I was thinking of you earlier this week. :-) I'll put it on my list for Sunday :)
Ok so won't be getting it this weekend as there's talk of thunderstorms and I came home early. Didn't want to drive in the rain but I have it on my list to do another weekend. :-)
Okay. Thanks for being willing to do this. I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you.
