ATKINSON-HARLOW CEMETERY, (Spence Cave Rd, AL/TN State line), LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA
This map shows the GPS Coordinates of the Atkinson-Harlow Cemetery. GPS is also known
as the
Latitude and Longitude location.
From Athens go out N. Jefferson St and veer right onto Hays Mill Road. Follow
that across Thatch Road where it becomes Pettusville Road and follow that and you find the left turn onto Spence Cave Road.
Spence Cave Rd winds and twist around, but just before
the State Line look to the left under a grove of trees. There is a road to the
Payne Cemetery which is African-American and along that road to the right is the
Harlow Cemetery which is a white cemetery and much smaller and older. Well
it is fair to say at least the marked graves are much older in the Harlow
Cemetery. Who knows about the age of the many unmarked graves in the Payne
Cemetery.
This aerial view above
shows the Harlow Cemetery north and adjacent to the Payne Cemetery pointed out with a red check.
