Jordan - Jacobs Cemetery, 54-1 Summary Report, page 15
Jordan - Jacobs Cemetery, Redstone Arsenal, Madison Co., AL, June, 2002.
This marker will have to be dug out with a shovel to view both sides clearly in checking for inscriptions. It is firmly buried in very hard clay and could not be extricated with the hoe handle and hook used for the June 2002 visit.
There are perhaps more than fifty obvious rectangular grave depressions at the west end of the cemetery. In the center and on the east end, there are no definite depressions to indicate graves during the growing season for vegetation. If visited during the cold weather periods, after low-lying vegetation has died from frost and freezes, there could well be many more depressions visible. If this cemetery is filled with graves, there could easily be many hundreds of them within the fenced area.
