www.americanhoundsmen.com/cemetery.htmlIn 1937 Key Underwood of Tuscumbia, Ala., had the painful task of laying to rest his faithful coonhound, Troop. The ideal spot was obvious: a small, grassy meadow in the Freedom Hills area of northern Alabama.Troop knew this place well as most hunting trips began and ended here. This well-known spot was where coon hunters from the area regularly gathered to discuss hunting strategies, swap tales, and compare coonhounds. Most comparisons usually began and ended with Troop. He was well known as the best around. On that dreary Labor Day more than 60 years ago, Underwood placed a hand-carved headstone above a shallow grave and said good-bye to the special friend. Out of one hunter's devotion to his coonhound was born the "Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard," which has became a popular tourist attraction and is the only cemetery of its kind in the world.
