(Lawrence County Archives) 191 Moulton Cemetery The Moulton Cemetery is located on Rosenwald Street, north of Byler Road. It can be referred to as the Freeman Tabernacle Cemetery as it is located approximately 300 feet from the church. The cemetery is noted on the 1935 USGS topographic map, but is not labeled, even on the most current maps. This cemetery has at least 413 burials. The earliest known interment is that of James Alexander (1909-1909), infant son of Rick and Jennie Alexander. Other common family names found here are Boyd, Burgess, Byars, Echols, Fitzgerald, Gibson, Hubbard, Lee, McDaniel, Owens, Priest, Pruitt, Snider/Snyder, Taylor, and Walker. Each of these families, and more, had local landowners who farmed the area of southeast Moulton in the early 20th century. People of note include Price Echols (1886-1968), Ms. Pearl Jackson Green's grandfather, and John Dike Echols (1910-1948), her father, and several of her aunts and uncles. Ben Echols (1884-1953) and his wife, Carrie Davis Echols (1882-1956), are also buried here. Ben was Prices' brother and another landowner. His was the great-grandfather of Ms. Patshenia Cole. ■ COMMUNITIES CEMETERIES CHURCHES PLANTATIONS SCHOOLS - (4750)
