Smith Family Cemetery is located at 31 degrees 4 minutes, 
27.63 seconds north latitude and 85 degrees, 27 minutes 51.89 
seconds west longitude.  From the juncton of State Road 109 
and New Hope Rd. in SW Houston Co, Alabama, go west approximately 
2/10ths of a mile.  The Smith Family cemetery is on the south 
side of New Hope Road.  There is no sign, but the tombstones abut 
the road right of way and are easily visible.  This cemetery is 
not being maintained and is overgrown with brush.  There is one 
shattered, illegible tombstone and 5 flat concrete grave covers 
with no legible inscription.
  
Graves marked with metal funeral home markers are noted as these 
markers often do not survive for a long time.   The cemetery area, 
family groupings, and all tombstones were recorded with a digital 
camera and the full set of high resolution photos plus this text 
file will be placed in the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, 
Utah, for public use.  Original survey taken May 26 2007. Requests 
for photos of specific tombstones may be sent to the contributor 
at the e-mail address above.
