Sims Cemetery
Butler County, Alabama

Submitted by Ted Urquhart of Mary Esther, FL.

Ted has also provided a hand drawn map that shows the location of this cemetery. He sent these photos along with the following note:

"There must be 50-75 graves there with only a few markers remaining. It's on land Stanley Burkett currently owns and I met with him last month and he took me there - bless his heart - he has cut the trees back and keeps the entire cemetery mowed - must be an acre."
