BLACK
(Alexander) CEMETERY, (Carey Road abt 10 miles NE of Athens) , LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA
This map shows the the Black (Alex) Cemetery in the junction of Carey Road and
Porter Gin Road back under a clump of trees.
This cemetery is located on the south side of Carey Road just after the
2nd 90 degree bend in the road going east from Hays Mill Road. About 50 yards
from the road under a stand of trees. The map shows above that it is in the SE
corner of Porter Gin & Carey Rd back in the thicket. vegetation is very
dense back in there.
Using another method the cemetery is located in SE quarter (center of) Section
15, Township 2 South & Range 4 West. The location is as I find it is in the
