Thanks Jackie! I'm just glad that someone else remembers the cemetery! I visited the one where Lowes is now located as a child. I don't remember any of the names of the 2 stones that I saw. I have just been looking for a name to put with the cemetery. I spoke with the former state archeologist who told me that when they were blasting to build the Lowes, human remains were uncovered. This would have been in the early 90s (I think). There were no stones left at that point. After looking through the property records in Metro, I know a Dodson sold the land in the early 80s. I will probably never find names of who was buried there, but it is looking like it may have been a Dodson family cemetery.
