Shiloh Cemetery/Cemeteries

Sorry, I meant to place this on the board....Sorry if it is duplicated.

Will someone please give me the exact location of Shiloh Cemetery? Tracking your Roots makes it appear there are 2.
If there are 2, will you please give me the info on both.

Also, how can one claim to be in Adalusia if you have to drive 13 or 14 miles from Adalusia to get to it? I made the mistake of adding a child who's obituary I have and now someone says I have it in the wrong one.
After all we are not talking about a Metropolis here. Is the problem that one should be Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery and one a Methodist or something?

There must be some way to make this easier on visitors. I will be there this weekend and want to visit cemeteries, but, do not want to waste time, gas or my energy in this heat wave either. So, I would be so thankful if someone would clear this up for me.

Thanks,
Winn

This is probably too late, but didn't see it till now, sorry. One of the Shilohs (not the one near Florala but the one that is T5N R16E S23) is near Straughn School on a dirt road. I think the old stone block church building (what is left of it) was Baptist. Me and my little girl rode by there back a few months ago and it was in terrible shape and the cemetary was very grown up. I can't remember if the churh was still in use when I was a child or not, but it seems like it was. Also seems like some family use to have reunions there. Acording to the listing for it on Tracking your Roots, the last burial was about 1962. The one near Florala I know nothing of.
