Am looking for a cemetery near Warrior and or Hayden that the locals call or used to call Scratch out. I have a relative buried there according to his death certificate, but I am unable to locate that cemetery. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, I found that too, but no luck since the name didnt come up on Google. It's the right area and probably the same cemetery, nothing comes up.

Thank you! I am not searching for "Todds", someone just posted their info because they were in the same cemetery. I am looking for a grave for an infant Hill buried in Scratch Out in 1922. Thank you so much for the proper name of the cemetery! You have helped a lot!

I believe that you are looking for a church with this approximate address: 2868 Old Hayden rd Warrior, AL. I've been there when I was young and have family there also. It took me awhile to find it with Google maps street views and Google Earth.
I Pray this Helps.
