Cemeteries of Madison County, Vol. III, page 97
Neals Chapel Cemetery
Location: In the center of the S/2 of the S/2 of the S/2 of Sec. 14, Township 5 South, Range 1 East, approximately two miles northwest of Owen Cross Roads.
Note: When I began copying this cemetery I kept track of the rows. As I progressed into the oldest section I found it was impossible to keep the rows separated since the stones were in a cluster. Please note the difference in spelling of Bird/Byrd families. There were countless unmarked graves in the oldest part of this graveyard. Copied November 5, 1979.
