Trussville Cemetery


Located in Trussville, Alabama on Highway 11, it is also known as the First Baptist Church Cemetery. This is only a partial listing of the tombstones located in this cemetery. Entries within quotes are inscriptions that were noted. There are a number of graves marked only with fieldstones. In the oldest section of the cemetery, some of the tombstones are broken and on others the inscriptions are no longer legible. The cemetery is still in use today, however, and is well maintained.
