BLACKMAN
CEMETERY, (Carters Creek) MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE
The Blackman Cemetery in the thicket infested with brush and vines. There is a
rock wall somewhere in there but cannot be seen here. It may sit on a separate
lot instead of a lot where a house has been built next to it.
In this photo we can see most of the stones in this cemetery though they are not
so plain. Beginning on our left are the stones of:
