ELAM CEMETERY
      
Lat: 30° 45' 27" N, Lon: 88° 07' 29" W Legal Location: T3S R2W SEC 25 

This little cemetary was the site of the Elam Baptist Church. The cemetary 
is located in Eight Mile, Mobile County, Alabama. Directions from Bel Air 
Mall, Mobile, Alabama: Depart from Bel Air Mall on Bel Air Blvd. (North) 
and travel .2 miles. Turn LEFT (West) onto Airport Blvd. and travel .6 miles. 
At I-65 Exit 1/Airport Blvd turn RIGHT (North) onto I-65 and travel 4.8 miles. 
At I-65 Exit 8/US-45 turn LEFT (North-West) onto US-45 [SR-17] and travel 1.6 
miles. Turn LEFT (South-West) onto Cheeseman Ave. and travel .2 miles. Turn 
RIGHT into Elam Cemetery driveway. Total route 7.3 miles.

The cemetery is surrounded by a knee-high concrete wall with no gates. 
Elam Cemetery is not a perpetual care site and is maintained by surviving 
loved ones of those intered. 

This listing is complete as of March 18-20, 2001, when I surveyed the cemetery 
and recorded these tombstones. There are 179 marked graves, 4 burials without 
markers and numerous unmarked slabs for both adult and child.  It is still in 
use as of this date.  

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.
