Lipscomb Cemetery, 61-2 Summary Report, page 3

---

Redstone Arsenal: Lipscomb Cemetery, June, 2002. This obelisk is for Richard M. Lipscomb, thought to have been the patriarch of the arsenal area Lipscomb families. There is no monument here for his wife Sarah, but several of his children are commemorated by the other obelisks in the cemetery. It would be logical for Sarah to have been buried here, but there are also, but she actually moved off of the arsenal area lands and into the town of Madison Station (now simply “Madison”, without the original “Station” appendage) by 1860. Sarah lived beside her son John T. Lipscomb in Madison Station, and he is buried in Madison's old City Cemetery, so she may be buried there near him. However, there is no marker in the Madison City Cemetery for Sarah, so she could be in either cemetery, or even in another, somewhere else. 3 - (2171)
