ADAMS-CRUTCHER CEMETERY
LOCATION: Section 31-1S-2W. W/2 W/2 SW. This tiny family cemetery is located on the Madison County side of the Madison-Limestone County line. To get to it one must walk approximately one-half mile off the main road.

Note: There were two unmarked graves in this cemetery which were easily seen and perhaps some which we were unable to discern.
MINOR CEMETERY (?)
LOCATION: Section 29-1S-2W. E/2 SE/4.
MINOR, WILLIAM, Sr. - Sacred to the Memory of William Minor Senr., Son of Daniel and Mary Minor who was born in Halifax (Co) Va., Decr. 8th, 1786, and Departed this life June 5, 1844 Aged 58 years.
NOTE: This cemetery appeared to have been surrounded by a hand made-brick wall at one time. There were three large piles of over-sized hand-made brick plus some which were scattered at random on the ground. Cattle are allowed to mill around this tiny cemetery and it appears some of the markers have been destroyed. There were obviously other graves in this plot but we could not locate the markers. There was one slate marker found but it had weathered far beyond reading.
