The Henry Pennington Cemetery is the family cemetery of Henry Pennington (1812-1888) and his family members. He and several family members are buried on land that he once owned and farmed near Yellow Creek, northeast of Vernon, Lamar Co., AL. (Source: The Heritage of Lamar Co., AL, Ten Generations of Pennington's 1714-1998, pg. 487)

Jacky Pennington from near Vernon, Lamar Co., AL and his father, Lamar Pennington & William Pennington put up a marker engraved 'Henry Pennington Cemetery' and then Jacky had a sign made that is on the road (like a city street sign) which says the same thing. As for the grave stones, there aren't any. Someone many years ago poured a thin layer of concrete over Henry's and the one next to him is labeled Docia Guyton (believed to be a granddaughter of Henry Pennington). The names are scratched in the wet concrete which has cracked badly over the years. There are about five graves total. The other three just have rocks at the head and foot. The road going up to the cemetery is very eroded. It is about 100 yards from the paved road. (Information submitted by William Pennington, 3/03/2006)
