wet seasons (as was done in March of 2003) by simply going though the woods at about a 30-degree angle south of due west from the northern end of Anderson Road. When the creek is reached, follow it south to where an old pond remains with a culvert converted into a mill spout at the dam. There is an old truck cab on the rise immediately east of the dam. The cemetery is slightly south of due west of the dam, up the western slope and at the line where the wooded area ends in an old field. Patsy Kinney & granddaughter Sydney, descendants of Harrison Owen, landowner of area in 1830s, at old mill pond in Green Grove Community in northwestern corner of Redstone Arsenal in Madison Co. ALs March 5, 2005. Green Grove Cemetery is about 150 yards beyond pond. (Harrison Owen owned land in the NW/4 of Section 14.) The “Green Grove Community is probably misnamed, as the same name applies to another community on the extreme south end of the arsenal, near the river. The cemetery is quite large, as compared to other cemeteries on the arsenal. It could easily hold between 500 and 1000 graves, but there is evidence of only a few dozen depressions that are obviously graves today. Likewise, there is only one tombstone remaining, if there ever were more. That stone is for JAMES TURNER, who died in 1926. 2 - (2155)
