There are no church present today. I counted 178 burials This Cemetery is located about 150 yards from the Lamar County line just inside Pike County on Alabama Rd. Most of the Cemetery is well kept. If you visit notice the wood line there are a few scattered across the length of the back of the cemetery. If you are facing the cemetery the right side continues into the woods there about twenty Burials to the far right Mainly Stallings Family members. Some of the inscriptions were very hard to read some the dates could not be seen completely or made out. We welcome any changes or corrections. Contact the site coordinator or Larry Childs for any changes or additions that need to be made. 1st row starting from the left side facing the cemetery.
