Sources:
--Graves Marked.
--Published information from a census taken circa 1900 (now lost)
--Obituaries
--Death Certificates
--Known locations of graves by people now living.

Much help came from the following kind, concerned individuals:
Mrs. Doris Rogers McQueen
Mrs. Gladys Shanks Taylor
Mrs. Callie Frances Zeigler Sims
Mrs. Ola B. Martin
Mr. & Mrs. Ed Roberson
Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Shanks
Mrs. Katie Lane Goodwin Brown

And all others.

With all this assistance (Bible records, wonderful memories, etc.), also using the census taken in 1985 by Mrs. Judy Taylor, Miss Doris Thomas, and Mrs. Dorothy Rayborn.

I imagine there are a number of errors. Sixty-six names were added to the list of 1985, but who can learn all the secrets of a cemetery that is 169 years old?

A cemetery that is older that the state of Alabama, older than Butler County?
