CEMETERY-CAMPBELL STATION-MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE
This is a
sandstone that was carved at one time but has weathered away. No inscriptions
found It is located in
the central area of the cemetery.
These are fieldstones that may mark graves. The Cedar Tree above is about 50 years old and
sprung up long after the last burial.
These are cut
stones but are not carved to the point of being utilized as headstones even
though that is what they might have been utilized for.
Same view pointed to more to the left showing a stair-stepping of the stones. I
don't know what this is, but believe in some case old Stone Crafters practiced at least some
parts of their trade right in the cemetery and left many slugs lying around for
future jobs in an unused area of the Cemetery. The Pioneer Cemetery north of
Lynchburg has large piles of un-carved and in many cases uncut markers. However
often these partially cut stones served as the bases of a Box Tomb.
