It can be found about 5 tenths of a mile west of the junction of a small paved road (with blocked access at presentjunction) that intersects Alabama Highway 36 about 2 tenths of a mile south of the of Old Selma Road and Highway 36. The cemetery is on the south side of the road just east of the Stone Mansion. This cemetery was surveyed in October 1999 by Jeannie Kirk of Selma, Alabama, and Robert and Martha Graves of Fort Worth, Texas and was surveyed again by Elizabeth Meriwether of Fort Worth, Texas in April 2000. This was compared to a survey done during the depression and available in the Alabama Archives, Montgomery. The only grave not found in the 1999 - 2000 surveys is noted by ** in the listing below. This stone is most likely buried now as there were other stones found and unearthed, but not this one. Genealogical information was added by Carolyn Golowka, and Beth Meriwether, . This information came from Bible, census, and marriage records and is in parenthesis ( ).
