Grave Matters

Finally after a long hiatus I will be bringing you pictures of grave stones.  I visited the Nashville City Cemetery at 1001 Fourth Avenue South, Nashville, Tn. which was established in 1822. For the next few days I will be publishing some pictures I took.

I hope this helps someone in their family search.  It is a lovely cemetery with many early stones.  Unfortunately many of the stones have lost their engraving.  Also, if you decide to visit this graveyard be aware that they do not allow rubbings.
