"GONE BUT
NOT FORGOTTEN"
Transcription
done on Feb. 23, 2002
Directions: Going from Fallsville, (Newton County) west on Highway
16 to Red Star (Madison County) turn right on Madison County Road 3605. Drive right at 1 mile (you will cross over a
low water bridge and also a cattle guard) until you come to a "Y" in
the road. There you will see a sign
with three cemeteries on it pointing to the right. Follow the road on the right
and you will drive about 1.3 miles, and you will see Old Bethel on your left.
Go past this cemetery and follow the dirt road. You will see an old, worn down
community/church building. You will need to turn on the dirt road to your right
there. Park your vehicle there and walk down to the cemetery. The cemetery is just down the road a bit,
not far to walk.
We would not recommend you going to this cemetery during the late
spring, summer or early fall, as the snakes will be up, and last year we went
to transcribe it in April, and you couldn't see the fence or cemetery for all
the brush and grass that was so grown up.
But when we went this time (in February) the grass was cut, and the
cemetery looked really nice. So if someone is keeping it up now, it would be
okay to go any time of the year, but we've only been out there twice, and so
don't know if they keep it up or not.
The road is pretty okay to drive on using a car or a low chasied
vehicle, as long as you go slow and pay attention to where you're driving. We
went in a pickup just because we weren't sure of the terrain.
Someone has made bronze flat headstones with some kind of
"identity" on most of the unmarked graves, so there weren't but just
a few rocks without any writing or identity.
Most of everyone out there is "marked" in one way or another.
We are trying to collect as many obits for these people as
possible, so if anyone would like to contact
us about or to share an obit, we would appreciate it. I have made an alphabetical listing before the transcription so you can first
see if whomever you're looking for is there. If I found any additional data in
my research, I added that in under the transcription in ( ). Anything in ( ) is just research I found on the
internet, so please follow up with it yourself and only use as a guide. We also
have headstone pictures for everyone that has a headstone, and we can scan them
for anyone who would like to see them. We feel like if we all share with one
another then these people's memories will always be.
Thanks, Robert
and Rosa
