Dansby Family Cemetery
The Old Dansby Cemetery is located in southwestern Barbour County about a half-mile down the Dansby Cemetery Rd., a dirt road off Co. Rd. 3, also known as River Road. Co. Rd. 3 runs south from Alabama Hwy 10 near Pea River. There are only ten recognizable gravesites in the cemetery. It has been said that there are numerous other unmarked graves in this small plot including the graves of John B. Dansby, (1808-1896), and his wife Sarah Dansby, (1813-1895). It is rumored that the first buriel at the cemetery was that of a small child and that the child was buried underneath the old oak tree in her playhouse. The cemetery has been neglected lately and is becoming overrun with weeds.
This inventory was taken by Richard B. Price, November 14, 1999.
