Jan and Caroline, As luck may have it...I was at the Carlise Cemetery last weekend on a research trip. It is quite overgrown this time of the year, but not too bad once you get in the woods. Quite a few trees were uprooted in the cemetery when the ice storm went through there in 94(?) I can't remember the exact year. I noticed that some graves were under these trees. I did locate just about all of the mentioned graves. The cemetery surprised me as far as how big it is. Not very wide, (just long) and contains in the neighborhood of 100 or more graves. The person that I talked with told me that at least 3 persons were exhumed recently and moved to family cemeteries (one near Waverly, TN). I hope these are not ones that you wish to see. Someone said that two of them were husbands of the woman that had them removed. I did not find out her name to verify this. If anyone knows this lady or who she exhumed, please contact me. The cemetery is easy to locate. After getting to the top of the hill, the road will turn to the right. Watch for large pine trees on your right. There are several paths that you can enter the cemetery by. It is not more than 15 yards off of the road. If you need help, contact me and I will be glad to show you the tombs that I found.
