Graveshelter at Old Union Baptist

This graveshelter is at Old Union Baptist in Alabama’s Talladega National Forest. It’s a very isolated area…no signal getting up here.

There are four monuments under the roof. The two to the right are illegible; these two are for members of the Raglin family. I believe this couple had at least eleven children, so the two to the right *may* be their children who died at a young age.

I’ve documented over 60 cemeteries in Alabama with graveshelters; if you know of one, I’d love to do a site visit. Kindly email me with any information. Thank you!

BTW, the 1853 Airmount Graveshelter (it’s on the Register) in Clarke County, Alabama has recently been restored after damage from Hurricane Zeta.
