OLD BEAR CREEK CEMETERY, MAURY COUNTY 1807-1836, MARSHALL COUNTY Aft. 1836.
<--> |
View looking north in the upper area (western) of the cemetery. Stones are
sparse up here but the ground is clear where the Cedar trees shade out the
weeds.
This view was taken standing in the upper area
of he cemetery looking southeast. We can see the edge of the broken fence and
the open area where once a gate stood. The gate has fallen and now trampled
into the ground.
This is the first view where one can see a large number of stones. We are
looking east. This is a typical old cemetery with the graves scattered around,
but all facing east with most of the stones grouped into family areas. This
cemetery cover about 2 acres.
