The listing above was copied from the book "They Passed This
Way. " The gate at the entrance to the
property is padlocked. Neighbors say that the owners live in Nashville
and are only sporadically present on the property. After trying to get in touch
with them several times, this compiler (Fred Lee Hawkins, 1987) had to give up the effort. Without a
doubt, there have been no
additions or changes since 1962. [F.L.H., 1987] There was still no access in
2009 due to the padlocked gates and out of town owners who remain inaccessible.

Update: A researcher was able to get into the property
with permission from Mr. Randle to photograph several overview photos in 1998.
It is at this location.

You will be going off site so hit your back button. Unfortunately you will not
be able to confirm any inscriptions from the above site. The photographer did
not focus on the individual stones. I only noticed one error on this site . The
birth year of Collin Campbell is thought to be 1825 instead of 1927 as stated on
this offsite. Out there the birth date is shown as occurring before the death
date.
This cemetery listing was printed in various books of the past. Mr. Fred
Lee Hawkins in the book Maury County Tennessee
Cemeteries listed this cemetery about 1987 on page 134. Before that
it was listed in the book They Passed This way page B-76, about 1962. However
the original listing came from the book They Passed This Way. This info came from the above
book as I too was unable to visit this cemetery due to the lack of permission
and pad-locked gate. Listing added here 22 Sep 2009.
