MT. COMFORT CEMETERYMt. Comfort is the largest cemetery in Natchez Trace State Park and Forest. It is

located on Maple Lake Road approximately six miles north of I-40 and is well maintained and very active. The exact number of unmarked graves is impossible to estimate, especially as fieldstones marking graves have been removed. However, the large relatively open are near the center of the cemetery probably is full of burials. Unmarked graves may number in the hundreds. Recorded April 25 and 26, 2001. Checked and updates January 26 and February 2, 2002. The markers had been cleaned between April 2001 and January 2002 making many much easier to read.

Edwin and Clella Carter recorded the cemetery circa 1974 and published the information as part of their three-volume set on Carroll County cemeteries. Their record is referred to as Carters in the notes below.

OAK GROVE CEMETERYOak Grove Cemetery is located at Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church on Birdwell

Road in southeastern Carroll County, Tennessee. Natchez Trace State Forest borders the cemetery on the north, east and south. The cemetery, which is well maintained, probably dates to the 1840s. Like many early-mid nineteenth century cemeteries still in use, fieldstones marking early burials have been removed. It is impossible to estimate the number of unmarked burials. A number of grave shaft depressions are visible, especially on the north end of the cemetery. This record was made February 8, 2002 and checked February 8, 2002.

SHILOH CEMETERYShiloh Cemetery is located near the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in the

southeastern corner of the county. The well maintained cemetery is said to date to 1833 but does not appear that old at first glance. This is because there are few remaining fieldstones or original markers with nineteenth century death dates. A number of disturbed ground areas possibly representing unmarked burials can be discerned in the eastern half of the cemetery. This cemetery was recorded January 13, 2002 and checked January 26, 2002.

There are at least two previous records for this cemetery. As of February 2002, a mid 1990s record of the cemetery made by Larry R. Pritchard was available on the web at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tncarrol/cemetery/shilcem.htm. The earlier record was compared to this 2002 survey and is referred to as Pritchard in the notes below.

TODD CEMETERYThis small family cemetery is located just outside the park boundary but is accessible

only through the park. Turn west on the gravel road just north of I-40 interchange. Drive about a mile and the access road joins the gravel road on the left at an acute angle. If you reach Rainey Cemetery you have gone too far. There is a locked gate at the beginning of the private property but the fence only extends a few feet south and you can walk around it. The cemetery is located between two large cedar trees about 100 yards beyond the gate. Blocks mark five additional probable grave sites. This cemetery was recorded December 29, 1999 and checked Fenruary 2, 2002.

ALTOM CEMETERYAltom Cemetery shown above was made January 17, 1999. The cemetery now has 66

concrete blocks marking graves. There are no carved markers with information. Visited January 17, 1999.

Cova Lewis visited this cemetery circa 1976. Her notes appear in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (R. H. Harris, Memphis, 1976), Vol. III, p. 705. According to Ms. Lewis, "The Maness school house was built directly over several graves in the 1920's. It is believed that the graves are Altom's."

Commentary: Most likely this cemetery never had carved markers. It probably is very old and contained only fieldstones. In appearance in probably was something like the Gibson Cemetery six miles east in Decatur County, one of the few cemeteries which retains an early- to mid-19th century appearance. For a school to have been built over several graves in the Altom Cemetery would seem to indicate that the cemetery had been out of use for many years by the 1920s.

BIBLE GROVE CEMETERYBible Grove is a medium size cemetery located on Bible Grove Church Road north of

Chesterfield and just south of Natchez Trace State Park. This record was made in December 1993. Checked and updated January 13-14, 2002.

LOVELL CEMETERYON THE LOVELL CEMETERY, Hugh L. SmallAugust 8, 1952Lexington ProgressForum, The Progress Editor

You recall when I visited to your office about June 15 and subscribed for your paper. I am a native of Henderson County, although I have been living away for many years and living here in Fort Worth. I believe the persons who have relatives buried in the Natchez Trace Park will appreciate the matter about which I am writing and hope you may give it proper attention in your paper so they may be advised and perhaps be offered assistance to the state.

There are many old cemeteries in that area where pioneers are buried, among which is the old Lovell Cemetery where my grandfather, Billie Lovell, and most of his family are buried, and two or three others, being some 12 graves in all. This spot is in the park some three miles east of where the South boundary of the park crosses Brown's Creek. The Lovell family has long since left that country and this old cemetery has been neglected for many years, nobody there interested to look after it. Result: it is almost obliterated, grown up in rubbish and can only be identified by cedar trees around the spot planted there nearly 70 years ago. Prior to the construction of that great park, we had placed markers there but hunters and others destroyed them.

Upon my return from back there a few weeks ago, knowing there are other cemeteries in the area, and all practically abandoned and neglected, I wrote to Governor Gordon Browning explaining this situation and suggested that the state take over and care for all of them now since nobody is allowed to trespass in that area, and unless it did, all cemeteries within that area would soon be lost and forgotten.

Governor Browning agreed with me in the plan and advised me that he had referred the matter to the Department of Conservation. This Department through Mr. Buford McRae, Executive assistant, then advised me that he in turn had referred my plan to Mr. Carl I. Peterson, state forester in charge of the Division of Forestry, having charge of the Forest and Park. Mr. Peterson approved the plan and immediately advised me that he had issued instructions to the Forest Ranger in charge, Mr. Earl Braden of Lexington, Superintendent of the Park to proceed with the straightening of all markers in the cemeteries, and to clean off and maintain all cemeteries within the area so that they will at all times be preserved and maintained in an orderly and presentable manner. We think this is the sensible, respectable and humane thing to do; that in the future they mow the grass and keep them so they will have a neat and cared for appearance.

In view of the humane act of these officials so promptly rendered upon having their attention called to the matter, I, for one, and I am sure hundreds of others, desire to publicly express my very genuine appreciation through your paper.—Hugh L. Small, Fort Worth, Texas

Billie Lovell and most of his family

Margaret Ann Small, 8/21/1870-8/6/1886, Daughter of John W. Small and Sarah (Lovell) Small

Note: A 1976 visit to this cemetery revealed no inscribed markers. No estimate of cemetery size was provided. See Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (R. H. Harris, Memphis, 1976), Vol. II, p. 704.

MAZIES CHAPEL CEMETERYThis cemetery is located at Mazies Chapel Baptist Church northeast of Lexington and

just outside the boundary of Natchez Trace State Park. The cemetery was established in the 1920s.

The cemetery has fallen victim to a fad for grave decoration. Many graves are decorated with labor-intensive, hard-to-maintain raised beds, raised borders, and decorative garden gravel or white sand covers. Sadly, many graves without permanent markers are highly decorated.

This cemetery was recorded April 17, 1998 and was checked and updated February 4, 2002.

Jerry Johnson recorded the cemetery circa 1976. His record appears in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (Memphis: R. H. Harris, 1976), pp. 207-208. This is referred to as "Johnson" in the notes below
