Comb Grave Covers - Cullman County, Alabama

Location: Arkadelphia Baptist Church, Cullman County, Alabama

There are 13 tent graves in this cemetery. The earliest burial of this type was in 1863 and the latest in 1878. It appears that all were derived from the same stone/rock formation...a reddish sandstone.  The letters and pattern of carving are very similar. It seems that one man or one group carved all of the head stones.
