A Geneva County cemetery is being added to Alabama’s list of historic places. The cemetery is located at 4844 County Road 41, Hartford, and belongs to Wesley Chapel Church. This
Wesley Chapel cemetery was established in the early 1850s and was located behind Wesley Chapel Methodist Church. In the early days, the church was located in an area that now contains gravesites.
There are a significant number of families of the community grouped within the cemetery, as well as military provenance which includes several graves in a row from the Civil War. In addition to these veterans there are also veterans from World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and possibly additional conflicts.
Graves are in various states of condition, from extremely well preserved to disrepair. The church maintains the upkeep of the cemetery and issues burial plots. The gravesites and cordoned off plots are the responsibility of each family. Wesley Chapel’s church cemetery is the fourth cemetery in Geneva County to be listed in the Alabama historic cemetery registry which now features almost 1,000 cemeteries statewide.
