MATTHEWS
CEMETERY (Historic) SOUTHPORT, MAURY COUNTY, TENNESSEE
PERRY, Alvin Simpson, 1912 - 1 Nov 2004 in Columbia, Tn. (Maury Co. native; son
of John Simpson Perry and Polly Hanna Perry; mar. 54 years to Helen Baker Perry;
preceded in death by sister Kate Perry Gilbreath.)
We are looking at the fresh grave of Mr. Alvin Perry whose
family chose this old historic graveyard over all the modern ones around. The
continuation of the use of a cemetery for burial is the best way to ensure a
cemetery will be maintained and this one has expansion space.
