  Just off of Libby Road in Coker, AL is a narrow dirt drive that leads to a small cemetery in the woods. An old decorative iron arch marks the entryway to the final resting place for about seventy or so Coker citizens. The Old Liberty Cemetery is surrounded by fencing and the entrance is still flanked by the original, but decaying iron fence. The graves are decorated only by the stately oaks, cedars and old dogwood trees that surround them.
  With the most recent burial having been in 1926, the cemetery is obviously long abandoned, but for the past forty plus years the Tierce family has seen to periodic care of the grounds. Many of the markers are broken, some are impossible to read and there are two dozen or more graves marked by simple stones with no engraving at all. The earliest marked grave belongs to a Findley who died in 1850.
  The following surnames have multiple grave markers: Abston, Bonds, Daniel, Eveans, Evans, Findley, Gaston, Gladney, Hulsey, Kirby, Lindsey, Snider and Wells. The Lindsey family name appears most often. One of the Bonds markers shows that the deceased was a Mason and several markers belong to Confederate soldiers.
  Memnon Tierce, II arranged and coordinated the deeding of the property to the Friends of Northport earlier this year. Hopefully, FoN will give the old cemetery and its inhabitants the perpetual care they deserve.
