This family cemetery no longer exists, evidently. The graves were all marked with sandstones. Landersville as a location is NOT correct, it is just the closest location that was among the choices in the pull down menu.

This cemetery is the family cemetery of John Reubin Flanagan and he and his native american wife, Deannah were the first buried there. The cemetery is located on what was his property and is on Flannigan Cove in Bankhead Forest in Lawrence County, Alabama.
