FAIRCLOTH CEMETERY, (River Road east) COLBERT COUNTY,
ALABAMA
This Aerial map shows the GPS of
the Glenco Cemetery. ACME Mapper 2.0 as calculated by C. Wayne Austin says these coordinates
are: N 34.70408 W 87.73565
To
reach this cemetery from the intersection of Hwy 43 & 72 go west on Hwy 72
for 3 & 3/4 miles and look for the entrance to the Rock Crusher which was at one
time Vulcan Materials Company and I assume they still own it. Turn south or
right into the main gate and get permission or be hauled off to jail. HA!. Go
behind the office and the cemetery is next to the offices on the south side.
Because of the dangers of blasting that goes on here along with heavy machinery
all around I would say this visit is only available on certain days with
permission and a pass including your signature on a release from liability form,
but I have not been here.
Notice the rectangular white rock wall facing east located south of the building where
you can visibly see stones in this cemetery.
