According to the Historical Cemetery Atlas produced by the Univ. of
AL, there are two cemeteries located in or very near Warrior in
Jefferson Co. AL.

Cemetery #203 - St. Henry Cemetery, near to St. Henry Catholic
Church, formerly St. Joseph (I do not know if the cemetery name
changed along with the name of the church). Located in T14S-R3W,Sec.
24. No other information is given.

Cemetery #204 - Warrior City Cemetery. Approximately 1,200 graves -
interments began around 1860. Located in T14S-R3W,Sec. 13/24. No
other information is given.

According to the map, #203 is a few miles North of Warrior and #204
is either in or at the Southern boundary of the city.

Neither of these cemeteries have been registered on the Alabama
Cemetery Preservation Cemetery Register (ACPA), yet. The register is
open to the public to register cemeteries on-line at the ACPA web
site. It is very simple to do and is free. The ACPA Register is not a
"tombstone project or burial survey" so you do not need to have a
list of burials, it is concerned with the cemeteries themselves in
order to assist in our efforts to promote cemetery preservation. If
you or anyone would like to register these cemeteries in the ACPA
Register, we would appriciate it very much.

I hope the above information helps.
