CARPENTER CEMETERY, Taft Tenn., LINCOLN COUNTY TENNESSEE

This map shows the GPS coordinates of the Carpenter Cemetery along the west side of Old Railroad Bed Road as N 35.05481 X W -86.73352. This cemetery is mapped incorrectly too far west and south of this place about 500 yards. Mr. Brown informed me of this cemetery location. He lives south of the cemetery about 200 yards.

Location: From Taft Tennessee (junction of Old Rail Road Bed Road and Hwy 110) go north on Old Rail Road Bed Road about two+ miles. After you pass Carpenter Hollow Road on the left look for a residential road into the Brown place about another 1/2 mile on the left. Pass that residential road on the left. Almost immediately after passing that you will notice a culvert over the large ditch on the left (west) side of the road. That is your access. Go thru the gate after securing a key and bear just slightly southward from due west. Go across the field and climb the tree covered steep slope. The cemetery resides under large hardwood (not evergreen) trees on the side of that hill about 60 yards up the slope. Its a steep slope so have shoes that grip the slick moss covered surface and hold onto the trees as you climb up. If you tumble back you will be injured. I think some in the Brown family as of Oct 2016 living just south of here perhaps owns this land.
