Dekalb County AlArchives Cemeteries.....New Macedonia Baptist Church (Macedonia #2) - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/al/alfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Alice Beck ameatte@bellsouth.net August 12, 2004, 3:03 am Abstracted By: Alice Beck This cemetery is fairly well kept up, but any flat stones are beginning to be overgrown with grass. There are some stones that can only be "read" by tracing it with your fingers, so names/dates cannot be guaranteed. I have marked these "traced" so you will know which ones they are. Thee are also several one word footstones sitting by themselves with no other marker nearby. For the sake of brevity, I will not repeat the dates on military footstones. Directions: From Boaz, take Hwy 168E to Hwy 68E. Follow this into Crossville, and take Hwy 227N; go about 1 1/2 miles to DeKalb Co Rd 34 and turn left. Church is one mile down on the right. From Albertville, take Hwy 75N to Hwy 68E into Crossville, then Hwy 227N to DeKalb Co RD 34. From Guntersville, take Hwy 227S to DeKalb Co Rd 34, and turn right.
