Old Rasberry Cemetery

  • Patrick Hogue's Edited Photo version in 1997 using a photo editor on two photos taken in 1987 by John T. Rasberry that were sent to me by Ed and Dorene Robin back in 1997. It produced this Panorama photo here at werelate and at the following site created by John Rasberry, see Old Rasberry Cemetery
  • Ed & Dorene Robin of Texas "Location of Rasberry Cemetery and Alabama Trip" Letter to Patrick Hogue (Samples) of Weed, California, on the 21 Apr 1997.
The Rasberry Cemetery is located in Chilton County, Alabama - this is how you get there: From Maplesville State 22E to Chilton County 29, left turn 2 miles to Isabella, keep CC29 for 0.3 miles, take left fork for about 0.3 miles, the cemetery is on the left.
"We traveled down to Clanton Alabama and stopped into the library and were shown to the Genealogy Room where I was fortunate to find that the only person there doing research was a distant cousin which made our search for cemeteries lots lots easier.. During our conversations I brought up the Rasberry Cemetery, and I was fortunate enough to find that her mother knew exactly where it was ... ( Off a dirt road in the woods ). It was quite amazing that I was actually able to go out and see my GGGGG Grandparents Gravesites, and also approximately 20 to 30 of the early Rasberry realitives as well. Traveling the 2 lane county roads to get to the unpaved county road which brings you within yelling range of the cemetery was quite a spectacle in itself. Our ancestors were indeed smart to move there because the land is still majestic and beautiful. We went down this country road approximately 4/10's of a mile and stopped next to a gate where heavy machinery was going in to do some logging in the area. Either some member of the family, or the logging company itself marked off the cemetery with red markers on the trees so that it would be left undisturbed. Looking from the logging trail you can see the Tall trees that they left which act as a beacon for where the cemetery is located. You dont really know the cemeteries there until your right upon it.. It's overgrown with no specific boundaries signifying it's limits.. To look around we actually had to go through the brush and move branches and all types of stuff to get to read what little could be read. Some of the Grave Markers were quite legible and plain yet done with ornate designs. To actually clean the area would have taken a good weeks work and a chain-saw to get rid of a fallen tree. I wanted to stay and spend a few hours there and draw a layout of the site and also decipher the information that was there , but since we didnt know our way back and our cousins had other plans we spend only about 20 to 30 minutes there. Driving back my wife went ahead and created a little road map showing how to relocate this little cemetery, only to find out later that it actually shows up on the Chilton County Map (Listed as Rasberry Cemetery) ... I think the main thought going through my mind at the time when I was standing there looking at all these past relatives.. is that they must have lived nearby but all remnants of the past are either gone or hidden amongst trees maybe to be unearthed in some future time. We went on back to Clanton (I recommend the Shoneys Hotel) and my wife and son called it a day while i went back to the Library to browse through many pages of history and also to talk with the librarian's who were very pleasant and quite helpful. Everyone whom I met there in Clanton were very gracious to us and thrilled that we would take time from our travels to stop in to this area and revisit our roots. As it's getting late here I need to end this message. Just Wanted to touch base with you and when I get the film developed I will be e-mailing you the photos that were taken of the Rasberry cemetery. Until Then take care.. and talk with you later Ed sends". Location of the Rasberry Cemetery
