TALLAPOOSA COUNTY, ALABAMA - GERMANY FAMILY CEMETERY ******************************************************* Copyright.

After crossing Germany's Ferry Bridge over the Tallapoosa River heading towards Daviston, cemetary is visible on the right side of the road. The cemetary is not kept up, but due to moss covering the ground, it has not become overgrown. Note: I am listing the names as they are on the markers. In the *** ( )*** I will put my notes, maiden names, and/or spell out the full names if initials are on the marker. I have put no spaces between some listed as they are buried next to their spouse. The Germany's are my ancestors so I know who most of them were. The Germany's owned the land there and operated a ferry crossing the Tallapoosa River during the 1800's and early 1900's, although I don't know exactly when the ferry ceased operating. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morris T GERMANY Mar 13, 1830 Jan 23, 1910 ***(Morris Towles Germany)*** Eugenia C GERMANY Apr 3, 1841 Feb 8, 1910 ***(Eugenia C Bosworth)*** J A GERMANY born April 8, 1844 departed this life July 10, 1898 ***(James A Germany)*** Cora infant daughter of G J and E L BERRY Sept 2, 1872 Aug 19, 1874 ***(Broken marker...George J Berry & Elvira L Germany Berry)*** William GERMANY Feb 18, 1829 ***(Died Apr 10, 1910)*** Pvt Co D 34 ALA INF Confederate States Army In memory of James GERMANY Born Apr 23, 1801 died Jan 15, 1871 ELTC on head and foot markers only ***(This is Elvira L Towles Germany born Feb 16, 1806 died May 7, 1890 wife of James Germany)*** Amaranda wife of B J Vines born Sept 13, 1836 died June 9, 1906 ***(Amaranda Germany)*** In memory of Annie Lou GERMANY Born Nov 15, 1879 died Feb 28, 1881 1 adult grave marked with fieldstones at head and foot Robert C GERMANY Feb 21, 1846 Nov 13, 1892 Pvt Co K 8 Confed Cav Confederate States Army Julia Bob daughter of Mark M and H E GERMANY Born June 15, 1905 died June 16, 1905 Mark M GERMANY born July 22, 1881 died Jan 10, 1910 The Lord seeth not as man seeth for man looketh on the outward appearance but the Lord looketh on the heart. ***(This is a 10'x10' cement slab.
