As a child I grew up playing in and around the old Phillips Family Cemetery in Empire, Walker Co., Alabama. It dates back to before the civil war, several gravesites are those of slaves, but those are marked only by rocks. There used to be an old Baptist Church here as well, donated by the Phillips and attended by them and their relatives. Goodwins and Gravelees are also buried in the Phillips Cemetery, and are close relations. Unfortunately, the church burned down some years ago. |
