This Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church cemetery in Berry, Alabama has some notable gravestructures and interesting monuments. I visited it initially to document the graveshelter there:
This is the graveshelter for Sarah Clifton (Sarah Clifton Hill Evans) who lived from March 29, 1796 to November 12, 1863. I’m going to go through my records, but this is certainly one of the earliest graveshelters in Alabama.
Just beyond the grave shelter, a box tomb, and in the foreground are a number of comb graves — those triangle-shape monuments with the slabs. Of these, one has a handwritten inscription (warning, I may not be transcribing this lettering perfectly):
A
Son Of
F.D. Earnest

March the (??) 1880
The inscription here is stamped:
As is this one, with the sheep and hand pointing up:
