Phillips Freewill Cemetery

Dilworth, Walker County, Alabama

We found this cemetery while on our way to the Phillips Family Cemetery, they are located about five miles apart. There are many more Phillips to be added to this page, for now I'm adding the ones we managed to get pictures of before daylight, time, and space on the flash card began to be a problem.

Update:
We have returned now to this cemetery and are updating this information. But there are still many more Phillips to add, please return often.
