Cemetery Hunts

One thing I enjoy doing is locating Neglected, Missing, and Abandoned  African American Cemeteries in Birmingham Alabama

This Sayreton Cemetery sits back in the woods. There are not many homes in the area of the cemetery. I found a Headstone in great shape almost 115 year old of a young women name Minnie Forest born in 1883 and died in 1905. She was young when she died.  In researching a little bit on her I found out she was married and had several children. Below is one of her daughters

Alabama did not start keeping Death records until around 1908 so there was no death record on file in the state.
