Hello, Yes, it sure is. The last time I was there I could only find one grave site, that of James Harvey and Josie Taylor Murrell. The Parish grave stones were missing. There was one Rainwater grave stone that was moved over by a tree. There were about 20 glade stones where flowers and rose bushes had been planted but if there was every any thing scratched on the glade stones they are long gone. That was on the Military Road that went by my gggf William A Murrell's home. William Murrell had a post office near by from roughly 1855- 1895. After that it moved to Poynor. William's Wife was Lucinda Foy. The people mentioned in the article about the Sims Settlement in Limestone Co AL were their parents, Simon and Charlotte Sims Foy, and Benjamin and Mary "Molly" Sims Murrell. Bartlet Sims married Elizabeth Parish. One of William Murrell's daughter also married a Parish who is probably buried in the Murrell Cemetery. Please tell me what you have found out there. The last time I was the tall pine trees had been cut out of the cemetery. I thought that was probably why the grave stones were missing? I know my ggrandparents grave had been dug into, the shovel was even left there. At one time my dad told me there were between 150 and 200 graves, some of them buried by passers by traveling the Military Road. Thanks for letting me know about the status of the Cemetery.
