I feel it is best not to state my opinions or thoughts on this subject at this time as I am quite disappointed in those who knew this cemetery existed and said nothing until it was of benet to them. However, there is a bit of information I can share with you. Two headstones are located along a fence row on top of the hill at the formerly named Haywood County Poor Farm/Home. The story I’ve been told is that these two stones were conscated from persons responsible for removing them from a cemetery and since no one knew where these stones belonged, they were placed along this fence row. I’ve been in contact with the descending families of these two stones, and both families agree that neither of these two men were buried alongside their family in the family cemetery in Ohio. This gives reason to wonder why these two men would have been buried elsewhere, especially in this region. We have found evidence which points to the fact they knew each other as they were also from the same town and were blacksmiths. The families are wondering if they were in our area for any specic reason. The inscription on the rst stone is: Ferdinand J. Weidner, son of George S.C. Weidner, died 26 Nov 1884, aged 22 years 6 months and 19 days. The second stone is of that of Adam Boch, born 22 Apr 1818 and died 28 Feb 1904. Both men were of German descent.

I have an update for you this week. Some time ago a cemetery was disturbed at the Nutbush TVA plant. As most of you know, the cemetery was carefully excavated and relocated.

Since then many of you have asked me if the monument was ever placed at the new location. This monument was ordered by TVA authorities who have all since relocated to other areas.

Since I have not visited the relocation site since the transfer was completed, I ran down the acquaintances I had at TVA at that time to check on the situation. My contacts double checked on the status of the monument and informed me the stone was installed back in July 2010.

To my knowledge, no service has been held as of yet, and that will be up to the families to schedule at their convenience.

Many of you have also asked about the status of the Haywood County Poor Farm/Home cemetery. You must understand there are some things I am not at liberty to share with the public as this is not public information. Unless you own the land upon which cemeteries are found, or are a descendent of such a family, information is protected. All my fi ndings are recorded with the TN Archeology Department in Nashville. Cemeteries are a revered subject, and my thoughts on this particular location are mixed at best right now. I feel it is best not to state my opinions or thoughts on this subject at this time as I am quite disappointed in those who knew this cemetery existed and said nothing

until it was of benefi t to them.

However, there is a bit of information I can share with you. Two headstones are located along a fence row on top of the hill at the formerly named Haywood County Poor Farm/Home. The story I’ve been told is that these two stones were confi scated from persons responsible for removing them from a cemetery and since no one knew where these stones belonged, they were placed along this fence row.

I’ve been in contact with the descending families of these two stones, and both families agree that neither of these two men were buried alongside their family in the family cemetery in Ohio. This gives reason to wonder why these two men would have been buried elsewhere, especially in this region.
