HOLT CEMETERY #2
(Yarbrough Rd) LIMESTONE COUNTY ALABAMA
This map shows the GPS Coordinates of the Holt Cemetery #2. GPS is also known
as the
Latitude and Longitude location as at N 34.86564 W -86.90977. Alternate Location:
South West Quarter of Section 13, Township 2S, Range 4W, behind what was the
William Wade Holt Log home on Yarbrough Road.
From Athens travel I-65 north to Exit 361 and go east a mile or so to Thach and cross the
railroad tracks and immediately turn right (or south) on Holt Road. Follow that
about 3.25 miles to Black Road and turn right. Go a long mile crossing Piney Creek
and afterward turn left on Yarbrough Rd. Go to the first lane which may now be a farm lane
or a residential road and with permission follow that back to the cemetery about
300 yards from due east of Yarbrough Rd. This property after more than a Century is no
longer in the hands of the Holt family members. The new owners are now nervous
about folks coming into their property. So go here only with permission and with
the intent not to disturb anything. That means do not disturb any livestock.
Make no ruts in the roads or fields. Break down no fences or gates. As I always
say if you happen upon a $10 gold coin leave it alone it is not yours or at
least get it to the owner. Well you get the jest of this.
This aerial view above
shows the cemetery located behind the log house but that could change if the
cemetery is moved out of here or the cabin is changed.
