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


A view looking northeast down the fourth row at the Sandford family box tombs.

Sorry I got a little ahead of the clearing crew. When I was informed the cemetery was being cleared I could not resist getting started in making an effort to capture this old cemetery on the web in spite of the fact that it still contains the remnants of thickets. These are fast disappearing due to the hard work of Camp #29 Sons of the Confederate Veterans and the Boy Scouts of America (namely Joseph Dungy who is working to attain Eagle Scout status). Soon hopefully a team of civic minded persons with the proper equipment and skill can set up the fallen memorials so that the glorious beauty, historic information and heritage of this cemetery can once again reign for the visitors and descendants. The box tomb in the left center of the photo is again that of the Colonel James T. Sandford d. 1830. He was one of the founders of Jackson College and also donated the property for the school and cemetery. Photo by WA. 10/11/20003.
