Location:  From the intersection of Hwy 22 and Hwy 49 go west 4.6 miles to 
Spring Creek Road, turn right and go to the intersection of Purvis and 
Spring Creek Road. The cemetery is on the left. The cemetery is located in 
the woods just off the road.

Description: The Granbury/Granberry family owned this property in the 1850's. 
The cemetery has been kept up. It is small with only five markers inside of 
a wire fence. The cemetery name at one time was listed as Granbury but is 
currently listed as Clayton Cemetry. 

Note: By Janis Watkins, Flora Branch Librarian. 
"The only time that I have ever heard of this cemetery being named the 
Clayton Cemetery is from one old map that I have here in the library. 
Mr. Wellington, author of Cemeteries of Madison County, didn't venture 
back into the woods far enough to find the numerous other graves which 
are located under the trees. Everyone who has lived in the Smith community 
for any length of time calls the cemetery by the name of Granbury, not 
Clayton. No one seems to know where that name came from. The seven graves 
that are inside the fenced area are part of the Granbury/Granberry Cemetery."
