Published in the book Cemeteries of Madison Co Alabama Vol II, abt 1989. by Dorothy Johnson, Also found in Findagrave.com with 47 listings compared to 59 here including the fieldstone marked graves. Looks like a good production with above great photos and listing information - including family history not included above. There was an obvious understandable difficulty finding all the stones since the findagrave survey was done before the cemetery was cleared. Reading these very hard to see inscriptions also is a common failure of most folks who will visit this cemetery.
