GOLIGHTLY (Sarah) CEMETERY,
(Shady Grove Road) MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA
This topographical map shows the GPS of
the Sarah Golightly Cemetery of Madison Alabama. The location is indicated in the
center of the map. There is a general GPS location published by other mapping
companies that is incorrect. This is correct and believable within about 50
feet.
At the
intersection of Highway 72 and Old Rail Road Bed Road travel north several miles
and turn left onto Highway 53 (Ardmore Hwy). Turn off of (Hwy 53) Ardmore
Highway west and go 3 tenths of a mile on Shady Grove Road to a new house on the
left in front of the cemetery. After permission go behind the house and follow a
well defined field road 400+ yards south until it opens out into a small field.
Stop while standing in the field road and look 90 degrees left (or north) under
the trees and the tall monument can be seen under the cedar and pine trees. In
other words the big monument is seen inside an iron fence as you come out into
the open field.
Notice the red check indicating the cemetery location and the faint yellow trail
of the Shady Grove Rd and field road to the cemetery.
With this more precise view we can see the field opening and the red check showing the
trees where the cemetery will be located under.
