Logan-Campbell Cemetery
Logan-Campbell Cemetery
Location: Section 33-5-1E. South half of section. Off Atkins Road and Norton Road just east of the main gate to the Norton plant.
This cemetery was copied and contributed by Albert Logan Campbell, Jr. of North Little Rock, Arkansas, in about 1987 or 1988. The notes on family are from him. Mr. Campbell found six stones in an area approximately 50 x 150 feet that was very grown up with briars, weeds, etc.” They were:
Callie Bolden
Mar. 28, 1899 Dec. 16, 1959
Shares stone with George.
George Bolden
Oct. 12, 1899
(no death date)
Norma Bolden
May ...
Jan. 30, ...
This was a small stone (child's?) that was illegible.
The above two stones were in a 12 feet square fenced area on the western end of the area and about 25 feet due east of the chain-link gate of the Norton plant's main entrance.
To the east of the above graves Mr. Campbell found a wrought iron fence containing possibly two plots with a black metal marker with white lettering. [Probably a funeral marker. The inscriptions were:]
Martha Dale Cenie Harren
Born Jan. 29, 1892 Died April 13, 1928
Three other markers were Mr. Campbell's family members:
In Memory of
John Logan
Died May 18, 1838
Aged 56 years “Much has he read
Much has he sought Yet see how it has all
Come to naught”
The John Logan stone was a concrete marker that was crumbling at the base
Abner L. Logan
Born Sept. 1, 1821 Died Dec. 8, 1886 Death is the crown of life.
Fannie L. Morris
Born Feb. 11, 1837 Died April 7, 1914
She basks in the sunshine of God's presence. [Stone sits on a base marked “Morris.”]
Mr. Campbell states there were several “sinks” [sunken graves] marked with flat rocks standing on end. Family records indicate several family members are buried here (apparently without markers) and they are:
Davis G. Campbell
Born 17 April 1857 - Died 7 Oct. 1905
Norman C. Campbell
Born 31 Dec. 1879 - died young, unmarried.
John W. Campbell
Born 5 Jan 1832 - died 22 April 1911
Sarah E. Moore Campbell
Born 26 Nov 1836 - died 14 Feb 1919
Mary S. Campbell Logan
Born 12 Nov 1830 - died 9 April 1907
About a mile due north (just north of the Huntsville Speedway) is the Campbell Cemetery which family records indicate was in the family garden. It is the resting place of Thomas Gardiner Campbell, born 1799 in Rockbridge Co., Va. and died 5 Dec. 1839. Also his youngest son, Thomas G. Campbell [Jr.], born 30 Jan. 1839 and died 25 May 1846.
Mr. Campbell further states there were no markers in the Campbell portion of the cemetery, only stones turned on end, inside a wooded 35 feet square in a pasture.
