There will be a work day on Saturday, October 11th starting at 9 A.M. C.S.T. for the historic BRADLEY Cemetery . Located about 10 miles outside of Sparta off Highway 84 toward Monterey, this charming jewel of a cemetery is the final resting place of the early BRADLEY family, and two Revolutionary War soldiers, William BUTRAM, II (1759 NC - 1853) and Henry MARSH (b. about 1761 to 1777 VA - 1859). Both relocated from Wayne Co., KY to White Co., TN in their last years. What to wear? Sturdy work clothes, boots or rugged leather shoes, hat for protection from the sun (no shade), sun block or sun screen lotion, work gloves What to bring? TOOLS: hoes, rakes, spades and shovels, pruners, loppers, clippers, sling hooks, weed eaters, push lawn mowers. (No chain saws needed this time.) OTHER ITEMS: drinking water, sack lunch and snacks, folding chair, camera, insect repellent You might want to bring a wreath or spray of flowers to place on a grave to honor your ancestor once the cemetery is groomed! If you don't have tools, just bring yourselves and we'll share our tools. We'll even teach you how to use them if you don't have experience. What a deal! Please let us know if you are planning to be there so we'll have an idea of the number to expect. The pasture gate will be open so you won't have to climb it! Bring your cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors! We'll have fun working together! This is your opportunity to do something that makes you feel good about helping the community and preserving a piece of history! Let us know if you need directions to the Bradley Cemetery. It cannot be seen from any road. Hope to see lots of you there! Anna and Fount Bertram [email protected]
