I checked with the local funeral home who has a map of the newer burials but little on the old section. Basically you have to walk the rows and look which takes a while. Ore says there was a large cedar on each corner of the old church building. You are correct in that there are quite a few unmarked graves in this area. In many cases markers, coping, etc appears to have been added more recently. I have debated contacting the present day church to see if they have more information. I have included a lore citation from my file--hope its helpful. (The Lassiter family moved to the Children’s Home Community in Walton County on the Florida and Alabama line. James was a Baptist minister and friends and family members erected a small church on land that is now Greenwood Cemetery in Florala, Covington, Alabama. The cemetery is actuall! y just across the state line in Florida. Sisters and brothers of James planted small cedar trees at each corner of the church building. These trees are large now and the only remnants of a once active church. James' parents are buried near this site. In 1980 Corbin Presley and Louise Cox collected money from descendants of John and Nancy for a headstone to mark their graves.) (John Jackson Lassiter and Nancy Prescoat (Prescott) are buried where the old church building stood so many years ago (Greenwood Cemetery , Florala, Alabama) and where many of our kin are buried, those who worshipped god in that same log church. There are some large cedar trees that Irene Nelson told me the sisters and brothers of Jim (James Benjamin) Lassiter set out when the trees were small and the church was new. Most of the graves are unmarked. Louise Cox of Laurel Hill got some of the older members of the clan to donate enough money to erect stones for John and Nancy. I was one of the youn! ger clan lucky enough to contribute a small amount in my mother's name . I don't know how many of Jim's brothers and sisters he married (Officiated at the wedding), but I think most of them. It appears he was a well respected man of the community. These Lassiter’s lived in what was once a thriving place called Children's Home Community. Jim's daughter Martha moved to Texas and there she died, )

Thanks for the good information on the Church Location, Does anyone know the Location of the Spring at Clear Spring is it still there? Thanks Nathan C.
