Bradley Cemetery, 
Monroe County, Alabama


This cemetery is located on private property in the middle of a cultivated 
field.  There are two hugh magnolia trees on either side of the cemetery and 
a very old iron work fence with a small gate surrounds the cemetery proper.  
Not quite in the center of the plot is a tall obelisk monument with engraved 
names and dates of the family.  Smaller upright rectangular stones surround 
the center monument, most with initials only, which mark the actual burial 
sites.  There are a number of unmarked graves, 5 of which have been somewhat 
located.  The rows are not completely in line with each other. It is 
believed that there are 26 people buried here, and quite possibly more.)



Back Row:


( Quite a bit of  Unmarked ground -
   Calvin Powe may be buried in this area of the cemetery, since it is
