This cemetery is listed on the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance (ACPA) website. Perhaps you've been to the cemetery I'm looking for, or could put it on your "cemeteries to visit wishlist."

I'm looking for Midway Cemetery - not the one in Bullock County, but the one in Barbour County. It's ACPA Cemetery ID No. 3-002409.

According to the ACPA website, it's located "off 431 North just before you get to Russell County line, on the left" and the nearest town is Eufaula/Howe. Driving directions are: "off Gammage Road about 1 mile back in the woods just before you cross into Russell County on the right side of the road. Another way is off Highway 431 North about 1 1/2 miles back into the woods before you cross into Russell County on the left side of 431 North." Apparently you can't drive up to the cemetery, you have to park and walk to it but it doesn't say how far. The description of the condition is that it has pine trees everywhere and grass is taking over, and there is an original wrought iron fence.

Apparently there are graves going back to 1871 (the oldest) to 1956 (possibly the newest.) Family names are: Weathers, Cronin/Cronnin, McLeroy, Boykin, and Hall, as well as a lot of unknowns, and supposedly there are slave and Native American graves "way back in the back."

According to a distant cousin, Annie Sue Carter Jefferson, on April 4, 2016, there used to be a little church next to the cemetery, but it is not there any more, but it was in the 1960s when she had visited, but the wrought iron fence was still there. I am assuming this may have been a Methodist church but do not find it on any records. This makes me wonder if a reference I found to "Malone's Chapel and cemetery" or "the White Church" noted as "a few miles from Eufaula" may be this same cemetery since a church used to be there, and apparently Malone's Chapel became the Washington Street Methodist Church in Eufaula in the 1890's; I'm investigating this.

If you know this cemetery, please contact me! These are my ancestors.
