    1. Re: Stone Cemetery, Manack-Burkville
    2. Dear Larry, I have the Lowndes county map that is published by the Alabama Department of Transportation. It is very useful because cemeteries are shown on the map, though I don't think the Department guarantees they have found all the old cemeteries. Anyway, the Stone cemetery is up in the very northern part of the county. If you are traveling on U.S. 80 toward Selma, turn north (or right) on County Road 37. When you reach Manack (dead ends there), turn left on County Road 54 (west). The road will make a bend and come to Burkville. Just southeast of Burkville in open fields are three cemeteries: Yankee Town, Stone (Township 35), and Graves (Townships 36). If I were you, I would ask in Burkville for directions on finding that cemetery. Perhaps someone at the Post Office can tell you who owns the land. This is north (or on the property of, not sure) of the G.E. Plant. If that is so, perhaps the G.E. people can give you better directions or take you there. Good luck. Billie Capell
