The Wear Cemetery is a small family cemetery first used around 1852 along Old Springville Road, between Sterling Lane and Countryside Drive, adjoining an Alabama Power Company substation in Clay. Twenty-three grave sites were documented at the cemetery in 2008. The most recent marked grave is that of Sallie Wear, who was buried in 1927.
A bronze marker was erected near the site by the Clay Historical Society and Birmingham Territory Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in 2009.
