I thought some of you might be interested in this Waterloo, Alabama, Witherspoon information.

I have a few pictures of the Witherspoon Cemetery at Waterloo, Alabama as it appeared when the water was low in the winter of 2005/2006. Imprints of graves can still be seen in the clay even though the top soil has been washed away for many years. I will email these upon request.
