Manning Cemetery
Also known as Roden Cemetery
Grant, Marshall County, Alabama, USA
A fourteenth stone appears to be missing as seen in the front left of the lead photo. I did not poke in the ground to see if it had fallen and was covered by the earth. Aug 2013
I discovered on a blog found on the internet that the Mannings had a house named "The White Elephant" and the land mentioned below owned by Mr. J.P. Willis is on the Rd named White Elephant Rd. The house "White Elephant" has been confirmed by a family historian as the house just down the road to the right of this cemetery.
***Source is found at Albertville Public Library, AL book titled "Alabama Records Vol. 139 Marshall Co. Compiled by Kathleen Paul Jones & Pauline Jones Gandrud" pg 58 ***
***Another Source found in the Guntersville, AL Library in a book titled "Gunters Mountain Cemeteries, Grant, AL, Marshall Co." Compiled by Jean Fowler Jackson listing this as Manning Cem. notes it was previously aka Willis Cem. at one time as Mr. J.P. Willis owned the property.***
Ms. Jean Fowler Jackson has compiled a second book 2011/2012 of Gunters Mountain Cemeteries which is still for sale as of Aug 2013. Price is $20. About 30 cemeteries are surveyed with photos including this cemetery. You can contact her at 1647 Fire Tower Rd Grant, AL 35747
