Wilson earlwilson1@charter.net April 11, 2004, 3:31 pm Abstracted By: Sandra S. Wilson The Alexander City Cemetery located in Township 23N, Range 22E, Section 27, Alexander City, Tallapoosa County, Alabama, was once referred to as 'Laurel Park.' Unidentified records in the City Clerk's Office in Alexander City show that on 10 October 1887 an ordinance approved by Mayor S.P. Adams, Sr., with B.J. Holloway, Clerk, made it illegal to bury the dead without the consent of the Marshal. The mayor, S.P. Adams, was a merchant and hotel manager, who erected the first hotel and boarding house, located near the present Piggly Wiggly Food Store. These records also show that Mr. J.F. Scott was elected as Superintendent of City Cemetery 'Laurel Park,' 3 March 1926. 'No one was more faithful that Mr. Scott.'
