The cemetery is located on land privately owned, and is located at the 
end of Stanton Road in Mexia, Monroe Co. AL. It is thought by this 
surveyor that there were more graves here at one time. At some time in 
the past, someone, probably a previous landowner, put up a metalic 
fence to protect those gravestones still in existance. We named the 
cemetery as noted because there are only four identifiable grave 
markers at the site, and they are all Lowrey.

The location given in global coordinates is: 
	    N 31°31'15.0"    W 087°23'28.0"

This cemetery was surveyed in April of 2003.

Where an * is found, it indicates that the data was not readable.
