Beulah Cemetery is located on Fort Rucker on 249 (Andrews Dr.) just inside the East Gate of Fort Rucker. I found many sites that were unmarked or had markers that were deteriorated over the years by mother nature and vandalism. In addition, I found a a report that was completed August 6, 1948*; I compared my findings with this report and have included the names from the report that I couldn’t locate markers for presently. (My trips to Beulah Cemetery were on November 21, 1996 and again a few days later to verify some discrepancies that I discovered. ) The ? is for a part that is no longer readable or an entry I’m in doubt about.
Below are the markers that I found:

a marker with only the initials S. IL. ?(F. or E.)
a marker with only the initials W. H. C. F.
1 blank marker but could possibly be connected somehow to the Parrish surname, the site next to it was marked reserved for Clifton Parrish. Both of these sites were surrounded by a brick border which leads me to believe they are related.
Unmarked and/or unreadable sites: 20
