HAWKINS CEMETERY
From Clarksville take Highway 41-A (New Providence Blvd.) 1.9 mile to Highway 79 (Dover Road). Turn left, go 10.6 mile to Cook Road. Turn left, go to end. Cemetery is in field behind house on left in grove of cedars.

We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes children are on the same headstone as parents.

Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.

HAWKINS    Maria    wife of John Hawkins
born Dec.25,1827   died Jan.28,1900
Oh mother, thy gentle voice is hushed, Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy pale and peaceful face is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast, We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know we have no mother now.

PEACHER    Mattie Bell    July 17,1891 - Aug.8,1911
