From Bay Minette, travel southeast on Old Brady Road approximately 5 miles where the paved road becomes dirt; then go another 10 miles on the dirt road and find the cemetery on the left. The Cemetery was the Church Cemetery of the old Magnolia Church that was there. The church was built by a Brady homesteader, Timothy Ozier Duck, and others that came with him. After the homesteaders left Brady around the year of 1923, Timothy's son, Rev. Alpheus Davis Duck, had the old church moved to be used as a United Methodist Church in Stapleton. All of the families buried here were homesteaders at Old Brady. As I can tell, the oldest marked burial is that of Zere M. Duck in 1888. Surveyed on May 24, 2001 by Leon W.
