I believe this may be my gg grandmother and gg grandfather's graves.  I 
found this in the Annie Coleman Proctor Chronicles in the Scottsboro Public 
Library dated 1959 at the time of the transcription. There were only 3 
readable headstones with several other graves here.  The cemetery has had 
the headstones bulldozed down into the earth, but the owner told me the 
graves were still there. These are the three readable headstones in 1959.

THEY HAVE MADE THE CEMETERY INTO A SITTING AREA ON TOP OF THE GRAVES. I 
THINK THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO DO THIS, AND ASHAMED OF 
THE PEOPLE THAT DO IT.
