DALLAS MILL CEMETERY LOCATION: Section 25-3-1W SE NE. This cemetery was the burying ground for the workers of the old Dallas Mill, thus the name "Dallas Cemetery." It is located on the back end of lots on the west side of Lee High Drive and very close to the railroad track. This cemetery was copied and contributed by Mr. Bobby L. Drake.

Happy infant early blest, Rest in peaceful slumber, rest. ---- Footstone: "P. H. " (headstone gone) ---- Footstone: "W. G. H." (Headstone gone) Note: Mr. Drake was told that a Joe Darnell was also buried here. This graveyard has not been cared for and there were many unmarked graves here. Several headstones appear to have been carried off leaving only the footstones. The following was contributed by Mrs. Catherine Gilliam who found the notice in a Huntsville newspaper. KING - W. C.
