ELKRIDGE CEMETERY, LYNNVILLE, GILES COUNTY TN.
This is a view of the Shields family plots, The old man and his wife's memorials and graves are on our right and the other children's (unmarried or infant) graves lined up to the left. Footstones are at the foot of the graves and a couple of the graves are lined with carved limestone boulders.
SHIELDS, Samuel, Esqr. died 9 May 1827, Age 63 yrs, 3 months, 3 days. This grave is also covered by a carved pile of limestone boulders. This stone leans badly to our left. I took the photo from the same leaning angle.
