I was curious about Blossberg (the question) so I started a search. Nothing. I changed the spelling to Blossburg and hit a big long list. Google maps says it is on 5/78, the Adamsville Parkway, not far north of Adamsville, abo ut the same amount south of Graysville. It is small enough to not have its own census data. Mapquest.com says it is north northeast of Adamsville on Cherry Avenue, northeast of Graysville. Nearby cemeteries would include (according to the internet) _Adams Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=68420) , Jefferson County, AL _Bagley Bend Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=68613) , Jefferson County, AL _Bivens Chapel Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=68933) , Jefferson County, AL _Cardiff Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=69260) , Jefferson County, AL _Crumley Chapel Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=69688) , Jefferson County, AL _Glasgow Hill Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=70357) , Jefferson County, AL _Hodges Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=70798) , Jefferson County, AL _Linn Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=71379) , Jefferson County, AL _Linns Crossing Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=71380) , Jefferson County, AL _Maben Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=71473) , Jefferson County, AL _Midway Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=71766) , Jefferson County, AL _Mount Olive Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=72059) , Jefferson County, AL _Saint Michaels Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=73468) , Jefferson County, AL _Shady Grove Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=73662) , Jefferson County, AL _Union Grove Cemetery_ (http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=74322) , Jefferson County, AL The town has some infamy. According to the internet: James Thomas was lynched in Blossburg Alabama July 9 1897. On the other hand, Ernie Walker, a baseball player, was born in Blossburg on September 17, 1890. The 3rd Alabama Volunteer Infantry, an African American unit, had men from Blossburg. It was formed in 1898. _http://www.spanamwar.com/3rd%20Alabamahistory.html_ (http://www.spanamwar.com/3rd%20Alabamahistory.html) I found a map of towns involved in mining and so forth and it showed Blossburg in a different spot, north northeast of Adamsville and northeast of Graysville. Blossburg had some role in the mine problems in 1894, but I haven't been able to find details. Blossburg Land Company records from 1889-1918 are available through the Birmingham Public Library in their historical sections. If you go to _http://bpldb.bplonline.org/db/coalmine_ (http://bpldb.bplonline.org/db/coalmine) and choose Blossburg as the mine name, it lists deaths in the Blossburg mines. In a list of early black physicians, there is one from Blossburg named Huckabee. _http://www.anes.uab.edu/blackdoctors.htm_ (http://www.anes.uab.edu/blackdoctors.htm) _http://www.brumm.com/familytrees/names70.htm_ (http://www.brumm.com/familytrees/names70.htm) lists ancestors from Blossburg. There are also towns named Blossburg or Blossberg in Montana and Pennsylvania. There were at least two mines in Blossburg: the Blossburg mine and the Blossburg East mine. _http://www.my-usa-data.com/features/FID/146158/AL/Blossburg+East+Mine/_ (http://www.my-usa-data.com/features/FID/146158/AL/Blossburg+East+Mine/) has a picture of the Blossburg East Mine.
