Smyrna Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery
A Black Cemetery Recorded Feb. 2001
From
the Hwy 70-79 By-Pass at Humboldt, TN., take the Humboldt - Gibson Wells
Rd.,
go @ 5 miles and turn right onto the Peter Smith Rd., go .2 mile to the
church
and cemetery.
Recorded this cemetery in 2 sections, one in the open
and mowed, the other in
the woods next to the church.
In the
woods section of the cemetery, there were many sunken places which
could
be graves, with no stones, also a lot of Funeral Home Markers that were
not
readable.
Because of the layout of the cemetery, it was hard to do
it in rows, so just
did it as I could.
Will divide this
cemetery into 2 sections, the one in the woods, and the one
in the open
that is mowed.
