Gibson Cemetery Listing--Sumner County, TN

Description and location: (See PHOTO)  This cemetery is located on private property in Hendersonville, Sumner Co., TN.  Please get permission from the landowner before accessing the cemetery.

Nina Naukam took pictures of the headstones and of the placement of where they stand today. Some are just leaned against trees and others have probably been knocked out of place by the trees that have been allowed to grow, they are of large size. 

Recorded by Nina Naukam [email protected] and contributed to the Rootwalker web site on 9/15/2000.  Verified by Vanessa Slea and Stan Magnesen on 10/17/2000.

Note: This is a large headstone of measurable size, laid face up on the ground.
NOTE from Vanessa Slea: There looks like there are two other stones in this cemetery.  For one of them, there is a large base, but the stone has been broken off and all that is nearby is one small piece with no writing on it.   Also, some distance away from most of the tombstones are two smaller markers with no writing on them.
