Grounds
Pattie Graveyard
This graveyard is located
off old U. S. 127 South (Lawrenceburg Road) on the property of Stewart Home
School. It
lies on the hill in the
back of the property. Today (2009) the cemetery is in deplorable condition;
trees, vines and
bushes have taken over.
Only two stones are visible and they are broken from their base and lying
on the ground.
The cemetery is
adequate in size to contain twenty or more graves. The
rock wall that surrounds
the graveyard
has fallen in areas. At this time no farm animals
are kept in the area.
