Henry Cemetery is located midway between Murrayville and Franklin. A single gray granite
shaft stands several feet tall and can be seen from the roadways nearby. The other tombstones
are either too short to be easily seen from the roads, or are toppled. The unfenced cemetery is on a
small hill surrounded by cultivated fields.
Update: Earl & I visited this poor forgotten family
cemetery on April 23, 2008. There were no stones standing - the three spires in this cemetery, as
well as a shorter more ornate marker, were off their bases and flat on the ground. 4 of the other stones we
were able to locate were buried all in a pile in another part of the cemetery - the last stone was lying
flat on the ground under a tree. There are probably more stones in this cemetery, but the masses of downed
trees, tree limbs and brush which are located within the cemetery and the fact that none of the stones
are standing and appear to have been on the ground for many years, made it impossible to locate additional burials here.
To locate this cemetery, drive west on the Franklin-Woodson County Road 1. Turn left (south) on Rawlings
road and follow it around until you find Taylor Road and make a right on Taylor road. Follow Taylor Road until it ends
at English Rd. and turn right on English Rd. Drive approximately 1/2 mile - the cemetery is located
well back in a field in a fence line on the north side of the road.
