ANDY COWAN CEMETERY 63 - 1 Summary Report Andy Cowan Cemetery, Redstone Arsenal TA6, Madison Co. AL, March 4, 2003 Archaeologist Jeff Thomson at gate This cemetery is the northernmost of three found in Test Area 6. It is south of Martin Road and east of Anderson Road. It is on a hill in the woods, overlooking a portion of Wheeler Reservoir off Indian Creek. There is no obvious road to it from Anderson Road. From the size of the trees in it, the cemetery is quite old. However, the census record for 1930 shows two Andy Cowan entries, one of which is likely to be the namesake of the cemetery. One was age 79 in 1930, whereas the other was Andy Cowan “Jr.” at age 39. They are both found on the same page of the census, but in different households. It is not known which one gave the cemetery its name, but land 1 - (2337)
