Estes ==================================================================== May 2001 Old Mars Hill Cemetery, Marion County, Alabama Gated entrance! Directions: From down town Winfield (Downtown Traffic Light) take Highway 78 East 2 miles and turn left onto Highway 129 North go 9.2 miles and turn right onto County Road 46 go 2 miles and turn left onto an unmarked gravel / logging road. The road has a gated entrance. The gravel / logging road is drivable. After turning onto the gravel / logging road go about 1 to 1.5 miles and the cemetery is on the right. This cemetery is neglected and is in very poor condition. I'm sure some of the stones that marked a grave site in early years have either been moved or covered with growth. Very few know about this cemetery. Contact David L. Estes, for information about how to obtain a key for the gate. He will give you the person's name who has the key to the gate. Surveyed by David L.
