Resea r c h of the peop le in M e r rimack Cemetery

E a r l y in 1995, I realized that at one time e v e r y o n e in

M e r r i m a c k Vill a g e knew the people who were buried in M e r r i m a c k

C e m e t e r y . Now the n e i g hborhood had c h a n g e d . Many had died or

moved away and the newcomers were not connec ted to the textile

mill. I felt a need to learn about these people before it is too

late.

Who were they? Where did they come from? Who were their

parents? Who were their chil dren? What caused their deaths ?

The h i s t o r y of t h e c e m e t e r y is the h i s t o r y of the v i l l a g e .

Other than talking with people,

I have used sources

available to anyone: referenee books, census records, Huntsville

City Directories, Alabama Death indexes and old newspapers found

in H eritage Room, H u ntsville Public Library, marriage r e c o r d s and

Honorable Discharge Records from Army, Navy and Marine Corps and

V o t e r ' s r e g is tration List found in Madison County Probate Office,

t hird floor, Ma d i s o n C o u n t y C o u r t h o u s e , O f f i c e s of M a p l e Hill

Cemetery, Huntsville Memory Garden and Valhalla Memory Garden.

One of the greatest ple a s u r e s of this research has been in

talking with the helpful people who have the answers.

These are the people who helped. Many answered questions

about their family. Some referred me to others. Some have simply

encouraged me by offering suggestions and listening to me when I

was happy about progress or discouraged because progress was

sl o w . I thank everyone.

I could not have done this job without

them.
