Isaac Nettles Gravestones

The Isaac Nettles Gravestones are four unusual headstones in the Mount Nebo Baptist Church Cemetery near Carlton in rural Clarke County, Alabama, United States.

The four Nettles markers are made of concrete and feature death masks, presumed by scholars to be of the people whose graves they mark.

[2] The marker for Selena Nettles was greatly damaged in 1979 during Hurricane Frederic, and what once displayed her upper torso, is now only a gravestone base.

[4] They are attributed to Isaac "Ike" Nettles, a local man who created them between 1933 and 1946.
