Magnolia
Cemetery, Brady, Baldwin County, Alabama
submitted by Leon Weekley
Magnolia Cemetery
is located in the deserted Old Brady community between
Bay Minette, Alabama and Gateswood, Alabama. From Bay
Minette, travel
southeast on Old Brady Road approximately 5 miles where
the paved road
becomes dirt; then go another 10 miles on the dirt road
and find the cemetery
on the left.
The Cemetery
was the Church Cemetery of the old Magnolia Church that was there.
The church was built by a Brady homesteader,
Timothy Ozier Duck, and others that came with him.
After the homesteaders left Brady
around the year of 1923, Timothy's son, Rev. Alpheus Davis Duck,
had the old church moved to be used
as a United Methodist Church in Stapleton. All of the families
buried here were homesteaders at Old
Brady.
As
I can tell, the oldest marked burial is that of Zere M. Duck in 1888.
