Hi folks! Happy Easter!
There is a movement afoot to find and survey any cemeteries in the are
that have not been. To that end, I have started a page on the Baker
Block Museum site at:
http://www.zyworld.com/whitewing/Cemetery%20Page.htm
where people may write to me with ones they know about and when I have
a number of them I'll post a list. Perhaps others will know where they
are, how to get to them, or will be willing to survey them. I am
working on getting someone to coordinate these efforts. If you can
help, please let me know.
The following is from Nathan Chesser (Cracker100(a)cfi.net). If you know
anything about them, please let me know also.
-------
There is a Newell Cemetery near the Alabama Line North of Stewart
Cem. There are Two in Blackman, One is at the Intersection of Morman
Temple Road and Tommy Steele Road on a farm there, the other a little
south of that one on the
Beck Property. There is a little Sign near Travlers Rest Church and
Cemetery that says there is another Cemetery
in the Woods there, I don't know if that is correct or not.
The Scipio Cemetery is mentioned in the Steele book as being near the
Stewart Cem. I have been trying to locate it, that is where Elizabeth
[Danley]Dannelly Steele [my ancestor] is said to be. She is the Wife
of Peter H. Steele and the Ancestor of all the S. Ala. and N. Fla.
Steeles. Then there is one on the so called Indian Mound, [Just a
Hill] on the florida line Near the New Ebenezer Church, and a Black
Cemetery that was Plowed over by Tree Planting at Nathan Road and
Creston
Barrow Road.
Is that Too many to talk about?

No, Nathan, not too many -- we hope ther will be more.
