Scope and Contents
The collection is made up of papers submitted for credit in the University of Alabama course, EXT318, “Cemeteries and Local History,” a course in the Extension Division. The course was taught on a continuing basis by Dr. Jerry Oldshue and Dr. Warner O. Moore until Dr. Moore’s death in 198?, and has been taught solely by Dr. Oldshue since then. The focus of the papers is on cemeteries as reflecting the history of a locale, and may examine burial patterns, customs, ornamentation, or simply be an inventory of interments.
