OAKGROVE-DAVIS CEMETERY

Lat: 30° 51' 24" N  Lon: 88° 10' 55" W  Legal Location: T2S R2W Sec 21

Oakgrove-Davis Family Cemetery is located in Oakgrove, Mobile County, 
Alabama. Directions from Bel Air Mall, Mobile, Alabama. Depart Bel Air Mall, 
Mobile, Alabama on Bel Air Mall (West) and travel .3 miles. Turn RIGHT (North)

This family plot is heavily overgrown with trees, grass and azalea bushes. According 
to the caretaker (Nubia) of the house on the property, she is supposed to keep it 
cleanned out and mowed but she does not have the tools to do so. Nubia said the 
property now belongs to Springhill College. The plot is surrounded by a chain link 
fence with a padlocked gate. Vandals have cut the fence recently and Nubia has not 
yet reported it.

This listing is complete as of May 31, 2001, when I surveyed the cemetery and recorded 
these tombstones. There are seven (7) marked graves. According to Nubia there are no 
unmarked graves here. All of the tombstones are large crosses. Mother's cross has a crown on it.

I have taken the liberty of adding information in () parenthesis of which I have 
personal knowledge from my genealogy research, {} brackets is information from 
Mobile Probate Court Marriage Records, [] square brackets is information from the 
Mobile Register Obituary Column, or ({}) parenthesis brackets is information from 
other sources. Those individuals entered with (*#1) behind the name do not have a 
headstone. That individual's information was taken from funeral home records or sent 
to me via e-mail from family members. Any information in this listing that is not on 
the tombstone will always be found with a designating mark.
