My mother remembers going to dances and parties in Sauta Cave. She calls it, like most other people around here, “Sautie Cave”. I also spoke with a couple of elderly sisters from Limrock, and they confirmed this story of dances and parties being held in the cave back in the 1930s.

My 3x great grandfather is Caswell Biby (Bibey); I’m attempting to locate where his property (referenced in the boundary adjustment documentation) would have been. Any assistance with a more exact location would be greatly appreciated! (as in where was Winchester Road, and are there any landowner plat maps that would have his parcel of land marked? I’ve not been able to find anything as yet)

Great history of Alabama and Decatur County!
My 3x great grandfather is Caswell Biby (Bibey); I’m attempting to locate where his property (referenced in the boundary adjustment documentation) would have been.

Thanks in advance!
