I have been visiting cemeteries and locating the graves of Confederate soldiers most of my life. Since 2009 I have specifically cataloged Confederate soldiers that were marked as such in cemeteries I visit. I also record veterans from other wars and tombstones that really interest me. June 2021: I would love to know who visits this page and what did you think about the work. Please leave a comment or drop me a quick note (greg_green@bellsouth.net)

I have chosen to preserve the original formatting that I used in the 1980’s. Unfortunately, I did not record complete dates of birth and death, so the vital information is somewhat lacking. In the case of unit designations determined by research I have included footnotes of the sources.
The cemetery locations are as I originally described them. I will also use coordinates from the GNIS database when I feel comfortable that it applies. I do not have pictures as this was also the pre-digital age.

I visited this cemetery back in the early 1980’s when I was trying to locate the graves of CSA soldiers in back roads of west Alabama. I would naturally record the standard CSA markers and those tombstones that identified the man as a Confederate soldier. I would also record the name and vitals of the men born between 1810 and 1848. I would then search for these men in company rosters, regimental accounts, and other sources.

Panola United Methodist Cemetery
Note: In the 1980’s during a time I refer to as BM and BK (Before Marriage and Before Kids) I traveled the back roads of west Alabama in search of Confederate soldiers buried in the old cemeteries. This was also before the now ubiquitous GPS. I still have much of this information. I have decided that I would share as much of this information as possible since most likely my yet to be born grandchildren will have to throw it away many years down the road. The following are a couple of rules of the road that I will adhere to. In the BM and BK times I spent a great deal of time at night trying to identify the men buried in the cemeteries I visited that were marked with civilian tombstones on company rosters and in regimental accounts. However, in these postings you will find only those clearly marked as CSA. As far as locations go I will use the locations as I originally described them. I will also use coordinates from the GNIS database when I feel comfortable that it applies. I do not have pictures as this was also the pre-digital age. For this reason I retain the exact recording format as originally recorded.

On USGS Topomap this cemetery is identified as Pleasant Grove Cemetery and the associated church is identified as Shady Grove Church. Another source identifies this cemetery as Shady Grove Protestant Methodist Church.
I remember walking in this cemetery early one Sunday morning and being given a tour of the old church by a little gray haired lady.
