Here are some names from Rocky Mount Cemetery at Highland Home in
Crenshaw Co., Alabama.
It seems to me that I have seen something about some Jordans who involved
in the Highland Home Academy which would have operated some time before
1945.  I went to school at Highland Home School right across the highway
from where that building was located.
