Here`s a couple of pic`s for the reason for my handle. Martin fought a Germantown Pensevania during the revolution and later stood beside the cotton bales with ol`Hickory. Marker for !st. American Ancestor. This marker was moved from origonal family cemetary to current location becouse of building of Norris Dam. Family cemetary became TVA property and was uncertain if it would be flooded. This next set is of the family cemetary. It is on TVA property but did not get flooded. this last pic is of my brothers marker. His is the first placed in the family cemetary in over 60 years My father who is member of the historical socity got permission to place the marker and my brothers urn in the cemetary. I go up and care for cemetary.

Nice cemetary photos. Must be nice to have your loved ones so close. Mine are burried in Texas and I'm in Mt. I don't get to visit often.

You got a lot of history in those photos caretaker. It's nice that you are taking care of the cemetery and live close enough to do that.
