Birmingham-Lafayette Cemetery

Though Birmingham-Lafayette is non-sectarian now, it started as the burial ground for the Birmingham Friends Meeting beside it. The sections of the cemetery closest to the meetinghouse along both sides of the roadway leading from the old gates near the octagonal schoolhouse are the original sections. They are easy to identify as well by the many well-worn, simple marble markers that were preferred by the Quakers, and which, sadly, becoming very hard to read.
