My daughter, Kate, and I just visited this cemetery. Looks like at one time somebody tried to put this cemetery to rights but gave up or something. Because it was never finished and is overgrown in small trees, brush, weeds, poison ivy & oak, and other such things. Would like to go back sometime to see if anymore. There is one photo of a veteran of the war of 1812 that is not mentioned in the cemetery records below from the Knox County Genealogical Society of which I am a member. Click on any of the thumbnails in the photo gallery and it will give you a larger picture of the tombstone... Thanks. Help! Help! Help!
feed my doggie with emails.... he'll love you for it... This Cemetery is very much in need of some help. If you would care to donate your time, donations to help with repairs, have family buried here, or anything you could do to help in the renovocation of this cemetery either click on my doggie to email me or write me at
Foxie Hagerty Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. The below was typed and emailed to me by my good friend Kathy Mills of Texas minus my comments.
