I have visited Mt Olivet several times and the office there is very helpful. I believe its the office of a funeral home that is out front of the cemetary. They have copied contents of the burial record for me which helped greatly and I'm sure they were the ones that steered me to the graves I was searching for. > > From: <[email protected]> > Date: 2007/02/26 Mon AM 08:15:09 EST > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: [TNDAVIDS] Mahlon Jones/ Mt Olivet Cemetery > > > > > > Looking for info on newspaper published in 1899 in Nashville Tn. I finally have a death record. He died in April 1899 of pneumona. And is supposed to be buried in Mt Olivet Cemetery. > Metro Archives does not have an interrment card, so there is no way of knowing where in the cemetery he is. > I am hoping to find someone who can search the microfilm for a possible obit. His first name is not spelled correctly on the death record but all the other info matches. > > Question # 2 Mt Olivet is a very large cemetery. Does anyone know how to find out how large this cemetery was in 1899? I am hoping it was smaller then and there might be maps showing the area in use then. I am going try to come to Nashville this summer and look for his grave. > Thanks > Sharon > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
