w/o Dr. John S. Blair
This cemetery is inactive and the area in 1993 had been logged so the cemetery is difficult to see. Alot of the stones had been toppled over and alot of the stones are broken. It appears to be very large and it has been said that there was a hospital owned and ran by Dr. John s. Blair near there at one time. Both of Dr. Blair's wives are buried in this cemetery. He sold his land and later moved to the Belle Mina or Greenbrier area. It is also believed that Susan Young Weir was a midwife and sometimes worked for Dr. Blair in his hospital. Susan and her husband Leonard Lindsey Weir and their daughter Virginia Weir Cox are buried in this cemetery as well, thus the name Weir-Blair Cemetery. A 1915 TVA survey map showed this cemetery contained about 150 graves. The Tombstone Inscriptions of Limestone County, Alabama only showes 6 graves, that is all the stones that were readable.
In 2010 when the Smiths took pictures of the stones still remaining in this cemetery they couldn't find the stone of Mary Crawford Blair, there had been a very large tree to fall and they feel that her stone is beneath this tree. Dr. Blair was buried in Madison, Alabama but in a field and not an actual cemetery so Ross Smith added his grave to this cemetery where he could rest in peace beside his family and friends.
