I stumbled upon this cemetery by following a map clue nearly at dark while on the Chestnut Ridge Cousins Tour. I made the few photos with the intent of coming back the next day. As you can see it is completely grown up in brush and hardly a place to want to visit at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Later when I viewed the historical records I was surprised to find a cemetery with nearly 100 monuments of which I (but quickly) found so few. However it became clear to me that the reason I missed the major part of the cemetery was the near dark and dense brush condition. This is a visit for another day or another person in the future. This cemetery was shown in the Tim & Helen Marsh Book of Bedford County, Tennessee
