Allman Cemetery Lamar County, AL Located south west of Detroit, AL off Hwy 17
NOTE FROM B Carruth:
The graves in this cemetery are not in straight rows. I began on the northwest side near the large cedar tree with row number 1 and proceeded up the hill. Some of the rows are just a small offset from another row but I have numbered the best I could in order to perhaps help someone locate a grave. There are many graves marked with only a rock, or cement block, and there are wide spaces, that makes me wonder if some graves have been lost. I have tried to notate these areas.

On a cedar stump at the front of the cemetery were the following broken stones: W. C. Infant child of Henry & Mary Webb born March 14, 1870, died November 3, 1872 and Margaret wife of Jacob Swanigan born AD 1840 died Febraury 7, 1882. i have listed these two persons at the end of the index. The location of their graves is unknown to me.
