Read More	Pine Flat Cemetery is in the community of Pine Flat, in the southeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 18, Township 10 North, Range 12 East, Butler County, Alabama. The cemetery is on the north side of, and adjacent to, Alabama State Highway 10, approximately 15 miles west of Greenville, the county seat. Pine Flat Methodist Church, established in 1858, stands immediately northwest of the cemetery. The historic 19th-century church building was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1978. An earlier church, associated with and probably built by pioneer settler Dr. John Barge before the 1830s, was already on the site when James and Martha Reynolds deeded an acre of land to the Methodist Episcopal South church trustees in July 1859. The earliest marked grave in Pine Flat Cemetery is that of the Rev. Dr. M. C. (McCarroll) Purifoy, who died November 7, 1859, at age 57. He was a physician as well as a minister, and served as one of the first trustees of the newly established Pine Flat Methodist Church in July 1859. Unmarked graves may indicate earlier burials, since Pine Flat was one of the earliest settled areas of Butler County. The community was originally called "Dogwood Flat" or "the Flats" by settlers who built homes on the pine- and dogwood-forested plateau between Pine Barren and Reddock Creeks in northwest Butler County. Fort Bibb was built near this location in spring 1818 to protect settlers from Native American attacks, one of which, the Butler Massacre, occurred a short distance east of Pine Flat in March 1818. Pine Flat was one of the voting sites in Butler County's first election in 1820. The village grew to have a post office, hotel, stores, several schools, a Masonic lodge, Methodist church and cemetery, and -- across the road from the cemetery -- a horse race track. A Baptist church was established nearby, and the neighboring mineral-water resort of Butler Springs drew crowds of visitors for many decades. In addition to Pine Flat Cemetery, there were various family cemeteries in the area with early residents' burials, including the Watts, Carter, Seale/Murphy, Benson and Barge cemeteries.
