| "BLACKLIDGE
FLATS 1902": A mystery reported on the
Blacklidge
name message board, 2004: In
clearing their property on Church Drive off of Mounds Road in Anderson,
IN, "Terri" and her husband
came across some large stones inscribed "BLACKLIDGE FLATS 1902".
An abondoned project? There is a reference to "Blacklidge Park"
in Anderson. Inquiries indicate there was a brick factory in that
area at one time. Terri reports the area surrounding the broken
stones is littered with yellow brick from a structure demolished years
ago. |

| headstone: headstone
of Callie Owen (BURROW) Thomason [795], the daughter of Mahalia
Blacklidge, found at Barton Cemetery (see note at right). |
Badiema tells us "The Barton Cemetery is located between Tuscumbia, AL and Cherokee, AL. When my mother was a child it was an operating little town. It is now what we refer to as a "wide place in the road". That may be why it was not found on an atlas. There are currently four generations of Blacklidges buried at the Barton Cemetery. Mahalia and her husband Owen, their daughter Callie Owen and most of her children including my great-grandmother Addie Carl Thomason Montgomery (married to Houston Earl Montgomery), and their daughter, my grandmother, Doris Marie Montgomery Inman (married Walter Dee Inman, Jr.) It is my understanding that most of the other Blacklidges from our area are buried near Franklin Co., AL." |
