Cemetery roving, part five

This week: headstones that remind me of the skeletal remains of ancestors that are lying below me...to taking care of animals.  That has been part of my life this week.  Also going with friends to new places, which is the joy of it all.

I left you last at Part 4, Mountain Veiw and Black Mountain Cemeteries, just a few hours ago.  Today I want to be sure to catch the opportunity to share on Sepia Saturday (HERE) while it's an open topic.  And at this point in my life, the cemeteries and animals are the highlights.  (Incidentally, I'm very grateful that I'm feeling well and able to take part in all these activities!)  Oh, animal notes are on my pottery blog today (HERE).

So back to Mountain View...

 These graves are near the Tabernacle Methodist Church, but I didn't go far enough to see when it became Mountain View. We were looking for the oldest grave.

Where had we heard of this family before?

Another southern family name.

Thomas Litteral served in the Confederate Army

Wiley Kanup, 1823-1895, Confederate States of America (CSA)

Sarah Walker, 1802-1847

 Sarah Walker's was the oldest headstone that had been legible yet.

I would need to get a different photo or a rubbing to be able to parse out this information

L. W. Daugherty, b 1818 (remainder not legible)

These combined cemeteries are on Hutchins Rd.

Taken through the windshield, and you can see the reflected sand dollar that is on my dashboard in lower right.

Sign on same corner, one of several about Mountain View

As we drove onto Hutchins Rd, this was the next sign we saw.

We next went to Patton Cemetery which looked to be the oldest we would see that day, however we don't know when several others were established yet.  Civil War veterans' markers would be seen there and in the next cemetery.
