#85 King Cemetery

According to Edith, Gene Aldridge from Colonial Pipeline took

some pictures of the James Moore King Cemetery on

Mooreland Lane in Murfreesboro.  (at the end of Moore's

Lane and about 600 feet west of Overall Creek)  This

cemetery was destroyed by vandals, and was cemented

over and the stones restored in 1954.  

Edith sent me these pictures with permission to put them online.
