Alexander-Welborn Cemetery

Alexander-Welborn & (Old Alexander) Cemetery
Survey done of December 11,2001was contributed by: Charity Goodwin & Pat Sparks

The Alexander-Welborn is a combined cemetery. It is listed on Lawrence CO.
Ala maps as seperate, Wilborn, Alexander, Old Alexander, but they are together
The Old Alexander is less 1/4 mile from the Alexander-Welborn, it is grown up with trees and brush.
They have since moved some of the graves from the Old Alexander cemetery to the
new Alexander (Alexander-Welborn Cemetery), there are still graves in
the Old Alexander Cemetery , but only 4 graves had headstones with readable markings
them. The other graves are either marked but small stones ar not at all.
But according to other people ,like Rickey Butch Walker, there are still many graves there.
The following file has listed all readable graves inculding those still in the Old Alexander cemetery.
