Walton Family Cemetery


The Walton Cemetery is a very old family cemetery located in T18S R10W S15 on private property in north Tuscaloosa Co.

Directions:  Highway 43N to Northside caution light, turn east onto County Road 38, travel 1-1/2 miles to the 4 way stop sign at intersection of County Road 63, continue straight through at stop sign, cross the river and at the second paved Cripple Creek road sign, turn right and go 3/10 mile.  The cemetery is located on the right side of the road in a small scope of woods in a pasture that is enclosed with a wood fence.    The cemetery is also enclosed with a wood fence.  The location is just back off and to the left of the original Walton homeplace.

This list of people buried in the cemetery was compiled from names given to Emogene Armistead, by Minnie Simpson Kuykendall on March 16, 1971; George Washington  Utley in the summer of 1969, and by Mrs. N. R. McMillian in 1968.
There are 26 graves in the cemetery, with only two standing markers.  There are only 13 graves that could be identified by Mrs. McMillian, Mrs. Kuykendall and Mr. Utley.  The remaining 13 are unknown.
