Marshall County AlArchives Cemeteries.....Bethlehem Cemetery - 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 November 9, 2004, 1:07 am Abstracted By: Alice Beck Directions from Douglas: From the school on Hwy 75, go south to Hwy 168, and turn right, AWAY from Hwy 168. This is Bethlehem Rd, (also called the road to the Water Board) but there is no street sign. When you pass the Water Board, go .7 miles and turn left. This road also has no sign, but the cemetery will be visible on your left as soon as you turn the corner. Bethlehem Cemetery is a small cemetery, very well kept up; there are no signs anywhere. Though most of the graves are 50-100 years old, all are still well kept, and most of them have flowers. Nearly every stone that has been broken has also been repaired. The town of Douglas was named for Stepen Douglas...there is a Stephen Douglas here; could this be him?
