Surveyed 30 May 1999
This cemetery is known by several other names, including McGee, McGee-Sellers, and Ledford-Moffitt. It is grown up to the point that it’s hard to tell where all the stones are. I suspect that I missed several fieldstones (rocks that were placed upright to mark a grave) due to the height of the flowers and weeds.
Directions: go south from Franklin on Hwy. 441. The cemetery is on a hill to the right behind Dowdle Feed & Seed.
