Gibson Co., Tennessee Cemeteries, STRAYHORN FAMILY CEMETERY

STRAYHORN OR LAVINIA CEMETERY
submitted by John A. Scruggs

Copied April 22, 1972 by Mrs. John Ross Long, Mrs. Romie Morrissett, John Lessenberry and Mr. Todd (guard).

  This was all the stones that were found at this time.  There were many, many graves that were unmarked.  Not too far from this cemetery was another that was fenced but the graves were not marked.  We believe this to be the colored cemetery.

  Located South of Route #104 - inside the storage area of the Milan Arsenal.
