Cloud preached and was buried at in 1906 Laura http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html CUBAHATCHEE, MACON COUNTY, ALABAMA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- 3 Feature records have been selected from GNIS.* - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Feature Name: Cubahatchee Church Feature Type: church State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Shorter Latitude: 322343N Longitude: 0855531W Show Feature Location Show Feature Details Feature Name: Cubahatchee Creek Feature Type: stream State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Shorter Latitude: 322538N Longitude: 0855944W Show Feature Location Show Feature Details Feature Name: Cubahatchee Lookout Tower Feature Type: tower Elevation: 370 State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Shorter Latitude: 322402N Longitude: 0855501W Show Feature Location Show Feature Details Feature Name: Calebee Feature Type: populated place Elevation: 336 State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Shorter Latitude: 322307N Longitude: 0855304W Show Feature Location Show Feature Details Feature Name: Calebee Creek Feature Type: stream State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: Shorter Latitude: 322634N Longitude: 0855652W Show Feature Location Show Feature Details Feature Name: Calebee Post Office (historical) Feature Type: post office State: Alabama County: Macon USGS 7.5' x 7.5' Map: La Place Latitude: UNKNOWN Longitude: UNKNOWN Show Feature Location Show Feature Details ----- Original Message ----- From: Mic Barnette <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 22, 1999 2:43 PM Subject: Re: Macon Co Churches in 1850's > Susan: > > I have some good news for you. > > In 1992 William and Patricia Martin published CUBAHATCHEE BAPTIST CHURCH OF > CHRIST CHURCH BOOK 1838-1850 (Macon Co, AL).
