Austin Groves Cemetery, 67-2 Summary Report, page 4

Groves Cemetery, Redstone Arsenal TA6, Madison Co. AL, March 4, 2003 The above photo shows a stone used for the headstone (the larger one at right) and another used for a footstone (at left). The “stick” between them is an ordinary garden hoe handle with the blade removed. It is used as a tool for indicating lengths in photos and for finding and flipping stones that are buried beneath leaves or soil. The same hoe handle is shown in the photo below, where more stones were found piled near the base of a tree. It is not known whether or not these stones indicate another burial at the spot. 4 - (2522)
