PHOTOS OF CEMETERIES IN MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

Shane Cemetery - Campbell Station

View of part of the Shane Cemetery looking east. Large memorial in the center is that of Claborn Taylor. Large monument on the left is that of a Martha Ann Campbell Morris who married John T. Morris. A stone of that magnitude today could cost more than $10,000. Many of the small stone in front are footstones of the Warden family members. Very large Cedars abound in this cemetery probably about the age of the cemetery, some of them are in a decaying state. Photo made in winter of 1990 by Wayne Austin.

View of part of the Shane Cemetery looking east, but from a more southward place than the above photo. I am standing in the older section of the Cemetery.

The memorial to John & Priscilla (Warden) Kerr. John & Priscilla were new married youthful pioneers who set out to conquer the wilderness of West Tennessee in 1843. John set about clearing a large land tract for farming, but soon lost his life to an infectious disease. Before his sickness he was able to father his only son Josephus Jerome. Priscilla & son (they were dismissed from the Clear Creek Church of Christ in McNairy Co.) returned to Maury County in 1848 to live out their lives. Priscilla would later remarry to Mr. David Wells who is buried close to his first two wives whom he outlived in the nearby Wells Cemetery.
