Unknown Cemetery, 52-1, Redstone Arsenal, Madison Co. AL, April 26, 2003 View to southwest from northeast corner at gate. This cemetery is located in the Southeast Quarter of Section 28, Township 4, Range 1 West. It is less than half a mile southwest of the Jordan - Lanier Cemetery (51-1). As historical land record research reveals, it is located between the old sites of a school (Chapman School?) and a “Negro Cumberland Presbyterian Church”, thought to have been the Poplar Hill Colored Cumberland Presbyterian Church, dating from 1874. The cemetery as it appeared in 2003 is shown in the photographs below. No tombstones were found, indicating a likely black cemetery, but the remains of internal fencing indicated burials in the 1900s. 2 - (2048)
