The search for Old Flat Creek Cemetery in Bedford County, Tennessee is finally over. After two trips, a lot of backtracking and a little help from a local, Mr. Butler, we located the cemetery behind someone's house. It is overgrown and in need of an extreme makeover.
Mama found her gg grandfather, William A. Evins, as well her ggg grandfather, William M., in the cemetery. Pretty exciting stuff!
William M and Elizabeth Evins share a headstone.
On the bottom of the stone it reads:
Dearest parents thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel
Tis the Lord that has bereft us
Of the ones we loved so well
Near William M. and Elizabeth's headstone are three broken headstones propped against a clump of trees. Manerva, Martha and Wesley Evins are the names listed on the broken headstones. I am wondering if Wesley is the same Wesley Evins who owned a store in Culleoka. Another mystery to solve.
