The Baird Cemetery was originally located in southern Milan, TN, but the cemetery stones were lost. However, they were rediscovered, having been moved and reburied a short distance from the original location.
The stones were moved to Oakwood Cemetery in Milan and are located to the left of the main gate. They look oddly out-of-place in this fairly new part of the cemetery (of course they are).
I documented the tombstones while at their current location at Oakwood. Remember that no one is actually buried under these stones. This is just a memorial to those buried at the Baird Cemetery.
In front of the stones, there is a fairly new stone reading: "In Memory of the John Baird Family and Cemetery"
