STRONG CEMETERY - (Monroe Rd & Pulaski Pike NE corner) MADISON COUNTY ALABAMA
This topographical map shows the GPS of
the Strong-Douglass Cemetery of Madison Alabama. The location is indicated in the
center of the map marked with the white check. However there does not appear to
be a cemetery at this location. LOCATION: Section 6 Must actually be 16)
Township 2, Range 1 east C. E/2 NW/4. In the valley a quarter of a mile east of
the big curve in Meridian Pike aka Monroe Road before it meets with Highway
231/431 north of Huntsville, Alabama.
Go out Pulaski Pike and pass Monroe Road and look right or east into a giant
field where two ponds exist. I recently visited this mapped place in attempting
to find this cemetery and was disappointed to find nothing but a large open
field with no sign of a cemetery. It appears not to be here anymore or possibly
it was miss-mapped. It probably has been destroyed by the current owner who
added giant irrigation equipment recently. He evidently bulldozed the cemetery
to clear the area for the equipment. The mapping I have shows no conclusion as
to the location of the cemetery, but shows it in two places out in the giant
field as shown in these two maps and next to the Pulaski Pike. I saw no evidence
it was in neither location. However, I did not get a good look.
