LAUDERDALE COUNTY, ALABAMA
CEMETERIES - TOWNSHIP 2, RANGE 13
CANAAN CEMETERY
Surveyed 24 Oct 1988
by
Robert Bentley
Location: From Florence, AL take County Road # 14, northwest 10 miles to Rhodesville. Turn left or South onto County Highway # 6; go 3 miles. Canaan Methodist Church is on the left and the cemetery is behind the church and parsonage. At present [1988] the parsonage is under construction with Jerry Darby and "Little Will" Rhodes doing most of the work during the week. According to the oldest church records, the church is 147 years old this year [1988]. The legal description is: SW4 Section 36, Township 2 south, Range 13 west.
I dedicate this list to Smith Houston Irion who is buried in the cemetery. He was a Steward and Sunday School Superintendent until he became ill and passed away in 1942. I married Vera Irions and became his son-in-law. Bob Bentley
