Autauga County

This is the McNeill Family Cemetery located across the street from the Autaugaville Methodist Church. Previous surveys have identified this cemetery as the Autaugaville Methodist Church Cemetery and the Old Autaugaville Cemetery. The “Old Autaugaville Cemetery” indicated in newspaper clippings, however, refers to the Asbury Cemetery, not this one. I would expect, but have not yet verified, that the McNeill home stood nearby this parcel of land in the 1860s.

The grave listings for this cemetery which were initially taken from the list at the Alabama Archives & History have been marked by an asterisk beside their name, they referred to it as Autaugaville cemetery and in newspaper clippings for obituaries it was referred to as the “old Autaugaville cemetery”. The remaining listings still have headstones present at the graveyard. While the location for this cemetery was not given in the original grave listing, we know that it exists at Coordinates: 32.43657, -86.65473 and is now referred to as Asbury Cemetery. The earliest known burial was that of Catharine Golson who died 4 Mar 1849, and the last burial was that of Woody Waldo DeBardelaben on 10 Apr 1946.
