JACKSON COLLEGE/OLD BRICK CHURCH CEMETERY-DENNING ROAD, MAURY COUNTY, TENNESSEE

A view looking north down the third row at the Thompson, Haddox, Holland and other stones. Some of the near front memorials are very large monuments tumbled by vandals, farm animals and/or uncontrolled growth of scrub trees. Except for that this view is of some of the most beautiful memorials found anywhere in the Maury County Cemeteries. It represents the stones of some the south's most successful families in the 1800s. The box tomb in the middle right of the photo is that of the Colonel James T. Sandford who died in 1830. Some of the inscriptions in this cemetery are very historic in nature yielding Civil War records, name places of Civil War battles, schools persons attended and many memberships in churches. Many family relationships are given in the inscriptions also. Other noteworthy information shown are Bible Verses listing the book chapter and verse. While that is not unique it is unique to see it on tombstones. So we know these people were very cultured and deeply religious. Photo by WA. 10/11/20003.
