A 1909 article states there were 3 stores, a couple of dwellings and the now famous Poplar Head springs twenty years before. It says people camped there overnight as they passed through. And in 1909, after the name of the town was changed to Dothan a swimming pool was built at the old Poplar Head springs. The name was changed to Dothan before Houston County was formed; an old RR map shows Dothen (sic) in Henry Co.

My greatgrand mother was a Koonce. Many are buried in the cemetery in Columbia,Al. However some were buried in a family cemetery across the Chattahoochee River in Early County, Ga. I'm looking for this cemetery. I need to know if anyone knows anything about it, or where it may be located. I found the one about 4 miles north of Columbia, Al. just off of 134. The cemetery in Early county was surveyed in 1960 by E.H.Hayes. It contained 5 graves, dating back to 1859.Any help would be helpful. Thanks.
