BUTLER CO, AL SELLERS CEMETERY
SELLERS CEMETERY
partial survey provided by Norma King
Directions: Go south from Georgiana on Hwy 31. Just past the railroad
tracks is a Phillips 66 station on the left. Take a right
onto old highway 31. Turn left on first paved road. Then turn right onto
Norrell Ave., left on Dunham Road, then left onto dirt
road that is beside a sizable brick house. The cemetery is on this road
which resembles a logging road. There are no houses on
the road and it dead-ends into locked gates. The cemetery is on the right
about 100 yards before the gates.
Persoanl Note: The cemetery is very remote and I would not recommend
anyone go to the cemetery alone. I was fortunate
enough to have a local family offer to escort me - otherwise, I would not
have found this cemetery. To my surprise, the
cemetery itself is in good condition and appears to be routinely maintained.

Additional Note: This is only a partial listing - I am sure I missed some
due to the limited time I had at the cemetery. There are
also unmarked graves. The notes in parentheses I added from information I
obtained from other sources. The notes on John
Wesley and Margaret Ledlow and Estelle Ledlow Ward are from the obituary of
Margaret Ledlow in the Greenville
newspaper.
I am researching the Ledlow family and would appreciate correspondence
from anyone researching this family or with any
information on this family.
