Charlie, In the book "Abstracts of Nelson Co., Ky Newspapers Sept, 1807 to Sept 1890", Carolyn Wimp, 2001, ATHS--- There is a gap in the papers from Aug 7, 1858 through Oct 6, 1860. There isn't any thing about the event you are mentioning. Thomas H. Talbott was Clerk of the Circuit Court in 1857. Could not find a Cem listing for him in the Cem Books of Nelson Co. You might try a search of the Cems in the Chattanooga area on yahoo or google & come up with a name of the cem. OR try the rootsweb site for the Co in which Chattanooga is located--maybe there is Cem listings along with a transcription of stones. You never know what you can find until you search for it. Sorry I can't help more!!!
