Hammack Cemetery
Fort Payne, Alabama
On April 4, 1997, I listed all identifiable graves in the cemetery. The information collected is listed below.
The cemetery is located at the bottom of the slope of Lookout Mountain near the South end of Fort Payne. It is adjacent to , and just across the Southern Railroad from the land currently owned by the Hammack family. I believe that this land was a part of the original land grants purchased by the Hammacks in the mid 1800s.
It should be noted that there are several unmarked graves. I know the identity of one of them from information given to me by my father. I would like to know the names that go with the other graves. Please let me know if you can identify any of them.
