NEW HARMONY CEMETERY

 

 

New Harmony Cemetery is located on AL Hwy 9 South (just off I-20), in Heflin, Cleburne County, Alabama in Section 21, Township 10, and Range 10.  New Harmony Cemetery has been in active use for at least 156 years, with the oldest marker being dated 1850.  It is possible New Harmony Cemetery is older however there are no records to substantiate this.

 

There are approximately 500 unmarked graves in this cemetery as observed by this transcriber.  In an effort to identify as many unmarked as possible, also included here are death’s recorded in the Birth and Death Registry located in the Office of the Probate Judge and from Funeral Arrangements located at the Library in Anniston, which may contain errors.  It is up to the individual researcher to verify the added information found here.

 

Information contained within the actual cemetery survey in (red) was provided by Mr. Hal Glasgow.  Other information in  [  ]  has been added by myself or contributed by others.

Molan for a number of years, when he died he was buried in the Molan family plot.  No one still living in the family knows who he is, or where he came from, only that he lived with the Molan family but don’t think he was related. There is a handmade marker made by my great grandmother Fannie Molan which is unreadable today.  I feel certain that this same Dock Brothers is living on Spring Street in Heflin as a boarder with the family of Jim Campbell in the 1930 U.S. Federal Census, Cleburne Co. AL.  Dock Brothers is stated to be 48 years of age, widowed, born in Alabama and both parents born in Alabama. John Wesley Molan worked in the sawmill/ timber industry, the Molan family lived both in Cleburne Co and the “Sand Mountain” area of Alabama between 1900 and 1930, it is possible the Molan family met Dock Brothers before he is in Heflin in 1930. The family of Jim Campbell with whom Dock Brothers is living in 1930 is also associated with the families buried at New Harmony]

IN MEMORY OF MR. FATE HILL

The announcement of the death of Mr. Lafayette Hill brought sadness to his
friends and neighbors. It was evident that his health had failed but all
were unprepared for such a sudden going. With his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Green Berry Hill, he came to Cleburne county when he was four years old. As
a young man he joined the Methodist church, living a helpful, christian
life. It was among his neighbors where he was well known and therefore
deeply appreciated, that one heard so much sorrow expressed. Being of a
reticent, shy nature, one had to have an intimate association with him to
know his real worth.

He was a helpful, accommodating person and when sorrow came to the home of
his friends and neighbors, he was always found there ready to give of
himself and all that he had. It was his delight to help prepare and invite
in the friends and visiting relatives to partake of the bounty of his home.
He performed many beautiful deeds to those in need and in sorrow and was
never happier when he was sharing life's burdens with others.

Mr. Hill's first wife was Mary Watson. Two children came from his marriage.
His last marriage was to Mrs. Fannie Howle, with whom he lived happily in
his last years and who survives him.

For more than twenty-five years, Mr. Hill was a Mason in good standing. One
of his greatest joys was in the cultivation of flowers and his success is
evident for the display of old fashioned flowers. The colors are many and
varied and such response and result he obtained is seldom seen. When passing
his home one wants to linger and enjoy the beautiful feast for the eyes that
his good man has prepared. He loved plant life with a deep devotion.

Thus through the years we saw him serving where most needed, walking humbly
with his God, kind and merciful not only to his friends, but to the erring
ones; discharging his duties as a devoted father and husband and a faithful
and loyal friend and a good citizen. While leaving a great vacancy in the
home and the lives of many persons, he has gone to the better, brighter
world. Surely as his spirit took its flight, he must have had, with untold
joy, heard the welcome of "well done, thy good and faithful servant; enter
thou unto the joys of thy Lord."

Glasgow, the first as an associate in the practice of law and the latter from church and sunday school work. Mr. Case had been a resident of Heflin for about five years, coming here from Fruithurst, Before coming to Cleburne county, he was a resident of Miami, Florida, moving to that city from some northern state for the benefit of his wife's health, she being an invalid. Mrs. Case preceded her husband to the grave about twelve months ago. Mr. Case was a county solicitor, which position he held for the past several months and county treasurer of Cleburne county. He was also secretary-treasurer of Cleburne county farm bureau and the executive board of the Cleburne county Baptist Association, teacher of the Men's bible sunday school class at New Harmony and a prominent Mason. Mr. Case is survived by one brother, Rev. Carl D. Case, pastor of the First Baptist church in Chicago, now spending the winter in Jacksonville, Florida. Eugene D. Case was in his 53rd year.

.IN MEMORY OF MRS. R.D. NICHOLS Mr. Nichols' first wife died Feb. 6, 1913. On August 30, 1913 he was married to Mrs. Roberts. On June 23, 1914, god in his wisdom called her gentle spirit from earth to live with him. We bow with humble submission to him who doeth all things well. In the death of Mrs. Nichols her husband has lost a devoted wife, her two sons a loving mother, the Farmer's Union, a faithful member. She was buried at the New Harmony cemetery with the honors of the Union of which she was a loyal member. She bore her afflictions with patience, never murmured or complained. She was faithful in every relation of life. She has fulfilled her mission and her reward is with her. We will say to those who were dearest to her to weep not for our loss is her gain.

[Son of Samuel Gip Nichols & Levie Boner]

R.D. NICHOLS GONE TO REST On August 24th at 3:30 p.m. the gates swung open and the loving voice said "come unto me and be at rest"., and R.D. Nichols, a boy of 16 years, departed this life. He suffered in patience for five months for he knew that there was a place free from pain and care when the lord called him to rest. It seems that was what done him the most most good. Every step of his life was bright and he wore a smile on his face which showed the love of god in his heart. Everybody loved R.D. that knew him, but the lord knows best and all that we can say to the bereaved relatives is to be prepared to meet R.D. over in the sweet land of rest where he is now waiting and where there is no more pain or death. He was laid to rest in New Harmony Cemetery on August 27th, Rev. J.W. Campbell conducting the funeral services. The pall bearers were Robert Ayers, Guy Jones, Lee Bryant, John Garish and Mr. Harris. Besides numberous relatives many friends regret that they had to say goodbye to R.D. for a little while. A Friend.

DEATH CLAIMS A HEFLIN GIRL One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Heflin in many years was that of Miss Lois Harlan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Harlan, who passed away at the home of her parents Monday morning about 5 o'clock after an illness of about four weeks. The funeral and interment were held at New Harmony on Tuesday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. H.P. Amos, pastor of the Heflin Baptist church of which Miss Lois was a member, assisted by Rev. Henry Rogers, state organizer of the Baptist Young People's Union and Rev. J.W. Grubbs, pastor of the New Harmony Baptist church. Pall bearers were Ivan Chandler, John Owens, Rolf Levens, Walter Merrill Jr., Lucian Lyles, Tucker Jones, Henry Chappel and Howard Houston, members of Miss Lois's class at the Cleburne high school. Miss Lois was nearing her 18th birthday. Three years ago she joined the Baptist church in Heflin and from the very first she put her whole soul into B.Y.P.U. and Sunday school work and the great good she accomplished stands as a monument to her untiring efforts. The eulogies paid to her church work by the three ministers were eloquent and must have been consoling to the loved ones, revealing the fact that the precious child, although not permitted to remain long on earth, had not lived in vain. Lois must have realized that the end was approaching and had given directions as regarded her burial, selecting "He will not forget me" as one of the songs to be sung on that occasion. The grave was banked high with beautiful flowers furnished by the members of the senior and junior B.Y.P.U. and high school associate as slight token of their love and esteem for their departed friend. To the bereaved parents and relatives the Cleburne News extends sincere sympathy.

NEWT ROSS IS DEAD Newt Ross is dead. We ask for no mantle of charity to be thrown over the events of his life or the cause of his death for all knew Newt to be manly, handsome, generous and brave. But we would remind a few of their influences will advised and of moral forces that failed to restrain. Last Saturday morning the wires flashed the sad news to his sister, Mrs. J.R. Moore, that New had died at 10 o'clock Friday night at the sanitarium of Hot Springs, Arkansas whither he had gone to seek repairs for a once vigorous constitution now shattered and undermined by the ravages of fell disease. Newt was just 28 years old. His friends were many. It is not just to sayt hat he himself was his own worst enemy for he had many enemies in the guise of friends who hung like parasites upon his generous nature, and did no little toward hastening his untimely death by augmenting the temptations that cut short the life born for the high destiny of usefulness and service. Newt was kind of heart and personally brave. He stood ever ready to defend the weak and in many instances gave evidences of that generous spirit that characterizes the true gentleman of the old southern type. His family have our deepest sympathy in their sad bereavement. He was laid to rest by the side of his parents in New Harmony cemetery. Rev. John A. Scott conducted the burial services. We weep over the untimely death of this bright and handsome man and shudder that those powers capable of a long and happy career were cut short in early youth

IN MEMORY OF MRS. ETTA HIGHTOWER Seldom if ever is an entire community so stricken with grief as on Sunday, October 8th at noon, when the disembodied spirit of Mrs. Etta Hightower loosed from its early moorings, went home to be with god. Sister Hightower was the daughter of Bro. and Sister J.T. Glasgow. She was born Dec. 14, 1873 and died Oct. 8th, 1911, aged 37 years, 9 months and 24 days. She joined the Missionary Baptist church at Pleasant Hill in the year 1889, but after removal to Jacksonville she transferred her membership to the church at that place in the fellowship of which church she lived a consistent christian life until the time of her death. She was a woman of splendid christian character, always exemplifying in her life the vintures of the christian religion. She was happily married to Prof. W.R. Hightower on July 9th, 1905. Two bright little boys blessed this union, Robert Lee, age 5, and Cecil Calvert, aged one year, 8 months. She was a kind, loving, dutiful daughter, always showing great love and consideration for her parents; a devoted wife and a wise loving mother and a faithful friend. She had a strong premonition of her approaching death and several days before that sad event she gave directions for her funeral, even specifying the place of burial, the one to preach her funeral. She also arranged for the care of her two little boys, saying she wanted them brought up under christian influence. She said "Pa, don't grieve for me, for I am going to heaven." Thus ended a beautiful christian life so far as this world is concerned, but while this mortal life ended so sadly, her heavenly life and her endless happiness has just begun. In reality "she is not dead but sleepeth" in the true sense. "There is no death what seems to in transition, this life of mortal breath is but the transport of the life elysian, whose portals we call death." Her funeral took place on Monday October 9th, 1911 at New Harmony Church, which was the place selected by her to be buried. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J.W. Grubbs. The large concourse of people present was proof of the affection and esteem in which the people held her. The music was in charge of Prof. Willie Morris assisted by Bro. Grubbs, Miss Morris and the Misses Howle, which was also by her request. Her body sleeps in the grave; her soul lives in heaven beyond the reach of the sorrows and sufferings of this transitory life. She is "watching and waiting" for the loved ones left behind and will be there ready to meet them at the beautiful gate when they too, shall be called home to glory. Loved ones, remember her parting admonition and be ready to meet her in heaven. G.B. Boman

IN MEMORIAM OF ELIZA ANN GLASGOW The subject of this sketch, Sister Eliza Ann Glasgow, was born March 9, 1846 and died May 2nd, 1913, age 67 years, 1 months and 5 days. Before her marriage she was Miss Eliza Ann Wallace. She was happily married to Mr. James T. Glasgow on ugust 8, 1869. When just a girl, she joined the Methodist Church, remaining a faithful member until twenty years ago when she united with the Missionary Baptist Church at Pleasant Hill. After a few years she transferred her membership to Cedar Creek church where she remained a consistent member until the time of her death. She was the mother of seven children, two sons and five daughters all of whom mourn her loss as a mother except one, who preceded her to the glory land nearly ten years ago. These children do not mourn as those who have no hope, for they all expect by the grace of god to meet her in the better world. Sister Glasgow was a good woman, good in all the relationships of life. A devout christian, a faithful wife, a devoted mother, a kind friend and one of the best of neighbors. It is such a life as this that counts to god and religion. Her influence will never cease to exist. No one can measure the effects of such a life as hers. Man can make many useful calculations, he can measure the distance to the planets and tell of the orbit of the glittering starts but no one can estimate of the good accomplished by such a life as sister Glasgow lived. Eternity alone reveal the effects of such a life. She now rests from her labors. She lives not here but in memory and influence and she lieves in heaven with her savior. Loved ones you know where to find her. By the grace of god you may meet her again where jesus is. There no death shall enter, no more parting at the river. Farewell sister, till we meet you at the river. G.B. Boman, pastor.

It is believed that the shooting was the culmination of some domestic trouble. A brother of the dead man and a brother of the alleged slayer were present when the shooting took place. A fifth man was also present but his name was not known by Sheriff Rowell. Rusk was shot in the right side of his chest and was killed almost instantly. Immediately after the shooting Franklin and his brother left the scene. Officers were called to investigate and a search was begun for the Franklin brothers. The first report was the the two men engaged in a heated argument while at work in a field and that Franklin felled Rusk with a hoe. The sheriff reported that a pistol was used in the fatal argument and Rusk was shot through the right breast dying almost instantly. Franklin fled immediately after the shooting and has not been apprehended although officers in adjoining Georgia and Alabama counties had been notified to be on the watch for him. Franklin and Rusk are said to have been renters on the Thrash farm at Riddle's Bridge. Both men are said to be married.

UNCLE TOM BRYANT PASSES "Uncle" Tom Bryant, 84 years old, Confederate soldier, died at his home a few miles south of Heflin on Friday night. Uncle Tom was wounded during the war from which he never fully recovered and was a great sufferer. Uncle Tom volunteered and joined the Confederate Army, going to the front, from near where he died. Besides the widow, two sons, John and Ed Bryant of north Alabama and three daughters, survive. Mr. Bryant was a member of the Missionary Baptist church being an active deacon until his health gave way. The funeral and burial services were held at New Harmony Sunday morning, Rev. F.M. Zaner, a life long friend, being in charge. Following Uncle Tom's death, only 15 old veterans remain on this side of the Great Divide. "Time, one by one, is paroling the Old Guard and soon the last of Lee's followers will whisper to his mates beyond the starlight, "I am coming boys, I am coming." " Fall no shadow, lies no stain,where those who meet shall part no more, and those long parted meet again."
