Beulah Cemetery In the middle of the nineteenth century, long before Ft. Rucker was ever dreamed of, the Old Beulah Primitive Baptist Church held regular meetings for its members. For more an 60 years, services were held in a small frame building located about seven miles west of Ozark on, the Ozark-Daleville Highway. A small record book called A Book of Record for the Primitive Baptist Church at Beulah, Dale County, Alabama and dated 1860 shows its first entry was made on May 10. The minutes for the church business meetings were maintained by various clerks of the church until Dec. 7, 1924. The Beulah Church established a cemetery for its members and their families which still exists today near the site of the old church. For reasons unknown, the congregation transferred their letters of membership to other churches in the area and abandoned the old building. According to local sources, the frame structure deteriorated so badly that it was removed by the first occupants of Camp Rucker in the early 1940s.
