CARPENTER (Hardy) CEMETERY, (Bo
Howard Rd), MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA
This topographical map shows the GPS of
the Carpenter Cemetery. The location is indicated in the
center of the map as marked at GPS N 34.89508 X W -86.69792 Specific Location:
Section 2 Township 2S Range 2W. NE NE SE. On the barn grounds of the Bo Howard
pig farm. Mr. Howard has carefully protected the stones at these graves.
On Hwy 231 go several miles north and turn left on Grimwood Rd.
Go several miles and the road will merge onto Tony Rd. Take that and go about 1
1/2 miles and turn south (left) on Bo Howard Rd. When the road bends left go
straight ahead into the farm road and with permission to cross the locked gate
follow that until the road bends back left (east). After bending left the
cemetery will be on the left under a cedar tree behind some old Texas Bear Grass
Cactuses that live for hundreds of years and were probably planted after the
tombstones were set here.
This aerial view shows the cedar adn area where the cemetery is located but I
think I have the red cross too far to our left. Should be moved over under the
green Cedar tree about 10 feet.
