Gina Easley went to Whittington Cemetery in the summer of 1998, most of it is so overgrown you can only find a few stones now and fewer still that can be read. They metal arch over the entrance had been attached to a tree and was up the first time I was there but which has since fallen.
There are several graves in the Whittington Cemetery without even a field stone, just sunken areas. There are a few field stones.
Darla Ball Marbut - Great Great Granddaughter of Lucinda Whittington Maloney, and her mother have visited this cemetery many times since the '70's.
In the summer of 2001 Darla and her husband cut the brush and cleaned up the cemetery. She took these photos in March 2006.
Darla said there was a surprise on one because she could see the word Alzada written on this stone. The Alzada Whittington that married Eli Lockhart is buried in the Washburn Cemetery so I can't figure this one out. I only have one Alzada Whittington in my records.
See Phyllis Long's notes on Alzada in the listing.
