Joel Blackwell Arendale, Jr. was the son of Joel B. Arendale, Sr. and Elisabeth Dare Arendale, some of the earliest pioneers of Bridgeport in Jackson County, Alabama. His mother was his father's second wife, and at the time of his birth he had a half-brother named William. Joel, Jr. died at the age of 24 and was presumably not married.
He is buried with his parents in a graveyard surrounded by hand-hewn limestone on the side of a hill, behind the Old Stone House, the oldest home in Jackson County which Andrew Jackson was said to have stayed in when traveling the stagecoach road nearby. His parents owned this home during the Civil War. The graveyard can only be accessed through the assistance of the landowners. Contact the office of Russell Cave for more information.
The manifest of the graveyard created by the careful survey of the landowner, and the manifest included on page 256 of the pictorial history book "Bridgeport, Alabama: Gateway to the Sequatichie Valley" clearly indicates his burial is here, though on the day I took pictures his marker was grown over and I did not find it.
