GREENWOOD CEMETERY COLUMBIA TENNESSEE

Looking south at the southern area. The stones are actually arranged in crudely laid out rows with the various families tending to cluster together. Not so noticeable is the grouping by religious faith. Broken and decaying stones abound. One always wonders where the missing parts of the stones have gone since they are often missing from view. Vandals took some of them away in some cases. In other cases they sunk just beneath the soil line after laying on the ground for many years. If you know of any of these displaced stones please contact your local historical society so they can be put back into the cemetery where they belong. Most of the white spots on the ground are fallen memorials that could be set back up with a little effort. However, they might be displaced from the original grave site. Also some might be common rocks marking graves. Photo & info by WA. 7/20/2003
