Burton Bend Cemetery

Sipsey, Alabama

The following is a census of Burton Bend Cemetery that was taken on May 23, 1999, during the Annual Decoration Day.  Each row will begin at the North end of the cemetery and will terminate at the South end of the cemetery.  There are many graves, which are not marked.  Rocks have been moved during the years and so no actual count can be made.  There is also a spot at the southern most part of the cemetery where there were burials and these spots are no longer marked.

One concrete block marked-This is the grave of William Henry Morgan ca 1854-1915 -- In the middle, at one end of the blocks the initials WHM are inscribed into the stone. It is said that he died at this very spot beneath the tree. (notes by:Claudia Fields Kraemer)
