About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The listings for this cemetery came from surveys made by Eustis Howard Hayes in 1949, the book "Cemeteries of Dale County, Alabama 2002", and several personal trips made to the cemetery for verification and photos. You will notice that many dates are missing. The burials have been transcribed as written.

In 2015 a cleanup program was begun in this cemetery. After several months of work, in 2016 the cleanup process was finished. Using architectural drawings made in 1942 the graves that were moved were marked. Crosses with matching numbers were made and erected in their proper locations. An interesting note is that when the graves were moved the funeral home placed a metal marker at each grave. Almost every one of them was found. Some of the other burials that were not marked were identified and crosses made for them. Two unmarked graves now have headstones. Although more help is needed, maintenance will continue as long as we can manage it. This cemetery is visited at least once a month for maintenance and cleanup. Existing family members are encouraged to visit these graves and do maintenance on them as much as possible.
