Is your Phillips Cemetery down in Stacks Bottom? The WCGS has read and indexed many of the Walker County Cemeteries, but I am not familiar with that one. There are still many more to be read and indexed which is a volunteer type job. **************Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web. Get the Radio Toolbar!

I'm afraid I don't know where Stacks Bottom is ... I've attached a map ..... also this page on my website has a listing of the people buried there. http://www.katscelticroots.com/pfc.htm (clicking on the celtic knots takes you a picture... made with my first digital camera... they're pretty poor quality... I need to take better images now.) Not listed is my great Aunt - Clara Clark Phillips - who passed away a couple of years ago. Someday I'll be there as well. To visit the cemetery contact Lester and Kathleen Phillips, they're listed and live right near the cemetery on Phillips Road. Robert D. Phillips and his wife Sarah Burnam are also buried here in graves marked only with rocks. Aunt Clara showed me a long time agao where they are. I've got a VA Confederate stone to put on his grave. I'm just trying to scrap up the money for a marker for his wife too and then we'll put them in place. Katherine

I am going to advise where all the cemeteries with the Phillips name are located in Walker County, Alabama. The cemetery that Katerine is talking about is Phillips Family Cemetery and is number 103 both in Craig Remington's "Historical Atlas of Alabama, Cemetery Locations by County" and is listed on the Cemeteries of Walker County Alabama Map that I published in July 2000. It is located just off the Phillipstown Road just where Katherine stated it is located and is located in Township 14S Range 5W Section 1. This cemetery has been read by the Walker County Genealogical Society of which I am a member and is found and recorded in "Here They Rest", volume # 4 starting on page 115. My grandfather's first cousin, Hubbard Barker Gravlee and his wife, Mary Etta Linda Phillips are buried in this cemetery as is one infant son of theirs. Reference has been made to Stacks Bottoms and to a cemetery at that location. That cemetery is "Robins Cemetery" and is not connected to the Phillips family as far as I know. It is number 205 in each of the publication listed above. It is located in T-14S R-4W Sec 6. "Phillips Chapel Church Cemetery" is listed as number 111 in T-15S R-5W Sec 2 in both the book and the map listed above. It has also been read by the Walker County Genealogical Society and can be found in Here They Rest, Vol # 4 beginning on Page 118. "Phillips Freewill Cemetery", sometimes know as "Dilworth Cemetery" is listed as number 174 on both publications above and is found in T-14S R-5W Sec 22. This cemetery as you see is a "Freewill" cemetery. This land, two acres was donated by a member of the Phillips family for a community cemetery. Anyone could be buried in this cemetery at no charge for the land. There is one more "Phillips Cemetery" and it is located near the Rocky Hollow area. It has been destroyed for home construction,even though the last burial was there in the 1960's. It is listed as number 280 on the "Cemeteries of Walker County Alabama" Map. Just to make you aware, there are 304 cemeteries listed on the map and at this time I have located a total of 338 cemeteries with a GPS in Walker County alone. I hope this information will clear up any questions about Phillips Cemeteries in Walker County.
