Fennil / Fennell Cemetery, 56-1 Summary Report, page 10
The tombstone of an older James C. Fennell is one of the earliest known in the county. He was buried at the foot of the east face of Green Mountain, in what is today the Camelot housing development. His grave was moved in the 1968-9 time of that development to the Hobbs Cemetery, about a mile to the south of its original location. At that time, his tombstone was also moved, but after it was knocked over several times by vandals, it was kept by a descendant for several years. The tombstone was offered for archives storage of the Huntsville Public Library some time ago. It may someday be emplaced at the Hobbs Cemetery, at his new gravesite, since the vandalism there seems to have subsided.
Tombstone in Courthouse Archives storage at Huntsville - Madison County (AL) Public Library. [Thought to be the earliest death date inscribed on any tombstone in Madison County.]
