I recommend that you talk with Clyde Thomas who currently lives in Smithville, but who was in Bradyville until the last year or so. He and Bill Greene of Bradyville worked for several months to restore the Patton Cemetery from a deplorable state. I can tell you that they did an incredible job of removing blackberry bushes, pulling stumps, leveling, repairing broken tombstones from flat on the ground. They can tell you all the tricks they used. Clydes email address is [email protected] Clyde Thomas 489 Golf Club Drive Smithville, tn 37166 615 597-3033 Clyde gave a talk at the Cannon Cnty Historical Society some months ago about the restoration. Bill Green would probably be willing to show the cemetery to you adn tell you about it. He is at 5765 Bradyville Road Bradyville, TN 37026 615-765-5616 Neither of these two gentleman were related to the people buried in the Patton Cemetery, they generously did the job because it needed to be done and no one else could be found to do it. The Patton Family is eternally (no pun intended) to them for their work. Jess Lewis has seen the result - phenomenal!
