WILSON CEMETERY
Transcribed by: Joy and Richard Tucker
May 15, 1999
From Trenton court square on Hwy 104 West, go 1.8 miles. Turn left onto Old Eaton Rd. Travel 7.3 miles and turn right onto Wilson Cemetery Rd. The cemetery is approx. 0.2 mile up this gravel lane at the dead end.
This is one of the most picturesque settings you will find in rural West Tennessee. The cemetery is surrounded by pastureland. In the older part of the cemetery, there is a row of very large cedar trees-probably set out at a very early stage in the organization of this burial ground. The older part is divided from the current burial area by a shallow ditch. Hickory, oak, tulip poplar and cedar trees grow on the fence line. The cemetery is very well maintained. It is regularly mowed and flower arrangements mark many of the graves in the newer area.

** The Glenn grave is under the largest spreading oak I've ever seen in this
part of the country. The trunk diameter is 4-5 feet. Other than the hickory
mentioned above, this is the only other tree out in the cemetery. (The other
trees are on the fenceline.) This tree is a spectacular sight!!

A Fame That Never Ends He was a friend whose heart was good; Who walked with
men and understood; His voice was one that spoke to cheer, And fell like music
on the ear. His was a hand that asked no fee For friendliness or kindness
done. And now that he has journeyed on His is a fame that never ends; He
leaves behind uncounted friends. Selected.
