WOODLAWN FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH CEMETERY

From Clarksville take Highway 41-A (New Providence Blvd) 1.9 miles to Highway 79 (Dover Road). Turn left go 7.5 miles. Cemetery is on the right behind the church.

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.

ON BACK: Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints of snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting hush of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there I did not die

ON BACK: you got it from Father,
so its yours to use and cherish as long as you live
If you loose your watch he gave you, It can always be replaced
But a black mark on your name son can never be erased
It was clean the day you took a worthy name to bear
When he got it from his father there was no dishonor there,
So make sure you guard it wisely and after all is said and done
You’ll be glad the name is spotless when you give it to your son.
