I have visited Beech Grove Cemetery in Russell County. Beech Grove Cemetery is also known by McFarland Cemetery and Warriner Cemetery. It is located below the Wolf Creek Dam at Kendall, Russell Co. My memory is bad on the exact directions but I will write my cemetery-hopping friend, Steve Vaughan, and get the exact directions and get them over to you. We videotaped this cemetery a few years back. I am working on transcribing the video but haven't finished it-another "To-Do" item.

Thanks for the directions to Beech Grove Cemetery in Russell County. I should have stated what individuals I was trying to locate. I was looking for a tombstone that has E.D. or ED on it with dates 1774-1828, age 84. To be 84, the person would have been born in 1744. The corrected dates are the same as Edward Long. In the old Pierce cemetery, he was grave #38. Graves #39 & 40 were Samuel Long and wife Nancy Long. Samuel Long was the son of Edward Long. Samuel and Nancy Long were moved to Jamestown. Other graves with names on tombstones that were moved from Pierce Cemetery to Beech Grove were G. T. Isbell, Nathan McClure, A.L., Sytha A. Ballou, infant Ballou, and a good many unknowns. Thanks for your help.
