The Alabama City Cemetery in Gadsden is close to capacity but the city has decided not to expand it. According to the Gadsden Times, the part of the Hickory Street property that has not been used has drainage problems. A meeting on the cemetery was held Monday with some 60 residents attending. Mayor Sherman Guyton said anyone who has bought a plot in the problem area will be offered a plot in another location or be given a refund. The mayor said the city will continue to maintain the cemetery after it is closed to new burials.
