TIMMONS CEMETERY, 89-1 Summary Report The Timmons Cemetery has perhaps the most unique appearance of any in Madison County, but certainly among those on Redstone Arsenal. It reminds the visitor of a New Orleans style cemetery, with above-ground box tombs surrounded by a large brick wall with an entrance gate. In addition to the walled area, there is an outer burial ground to the east of the gate, with at least one marked grave therein. It is possible that the walled spaces were all taken when the last of the Timmons family was to be buried, so the courtyard area was used for J. H. Timmons. [Detail in the reduced size images of this report can be viewed at 200% if using a computer to review the CD-ROM files; otherwise, a good optical magnifying glass is recommended whenever needed.] Timmons Cemetery, Redstone Arsenal, Madison Co., AL, July, 2002. 1 - (2950)
