The transcription below was originally published in Alabama Genealogical Society Magazine, Volume 2, Number 2, April 1968. It was transcribed by Mrs. W. Burgess Mahan. She provides the following description of its location...

"About 6 1/2 miles east of Russellville on Alabama Highway #24, near the Waco Community. Grave can be seen, in the yard of Roy B. Davis, from the south side of the road. (People in the community state that in years past other graves were around this one. This is the only one left in the old cemetery.)"
