PHOTOS OF CEMETERIES IN MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

Shane Cemetery - Campbell Station

View of part of the Shane Cemetery looking southeast. Pointed Stones on the right belong to the Adkisson family. Stones just to the left lined up are of the Warden family memorials including the broken one on the right. These are all 1800s people.

Looking North as one comes into the Cemetery. Older section on the Left and newer portion on the right. Fallen stone lower left is of Anderson Fox. Just to the left the memorial for his wife Susannah. The Anderson Fox memorial has been repaired and a new granite version set up since this photo was made, The old one was cemented in place. Photo made in Dec 1990 by WA. 

View of the cemetery looking southwest from the west side of the Cemetery. The flat white object in the grass in the lower left corner is the fallen stone of William Kerr, born ca 1781, died 1853. His stone was readable in 1990 when this photo was taken, but has since broken up into many layers and is totally unreadable. Efforts are being made to restore the stone while the inscription is still known to this generation. This view is of the oldest section of the cemetery. Notice the unique shapes of the stones. Many of them are composed of low grade limestone and other natural stone with various hardness levels. Unlike today's granite they are fast returning to dust. The intent of this site is to capture as much of the imagery as possible while many of the above are still readable. I did not clean them except just enough to be able to photograph the inscription. It is my opinion the lichen, algae and other plant growth on the face of the stone protects the surface of the stone from hail and other harsh elements prolonging its life. Some of the family memorials shown here are; the Martins; the Wardens; the Kerrs, the Campbells, the Harrises, the Taylors, the Davis, and many others. Notice just to the right of the tall stone of Permelia Kerr is a pointed field stone marking a grave. Probably an early Kerr family marker. However, some graves have no markers at all.
