The cemetery is located north of the Little River and Chrysler communities near Mineola, Monroe Co, AL, off County Rd. 2. It's on private property and accessible only by an old dirt trail BARELY wide enough for a car. Old Weatherford is the name by which I and everyone in my family has always known it. This does not mean that there are no other Weatherford cemeteries, or that this is the oldest. There was at least one adult-size sink that was unmarked, and what appeared to be two or three child-size sinks, also unmarked. However, the land in this area is soggy and prone to sink so these could be natural features and not indicative of a grave. This list contains the inscriptions of all marked graves.
