The
Johnson Cemetery is located east/northeast of Cloverdale, Alabama. It is
encompassed by private land and has been somewhat difficult to locate. Before
visiting this cemetery, please ask before going across private property. The
cemetery has a chain link fence surrounding it. There is at least one other
grave there that cannot be found. It is the one of Akin A. Fowler, who died
August 23, 1916 at 65 years of age, and according to his death certificate (see
below) is buried at the Johnson Cemetery. It is said that slaves may be buried
nearby also, but there are no indication of any graves.
As
the above photo illustrates, the Johnson Cemetery lies in a densely overgrown
area. The cemetery area inside the fence has at some time in recent years been
cleaned. There is only one row of graves, however, at some point in time, it
may have been a little larger, with graves toward the east side.
