> > 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

Sharon - Mount Olivet is one of the easiest cemeteries to locate interments in. Contact the staff there because they are very helpful - they will look up the interments and provide you with a plot map and also cemetery map so you can locate the section when you visit: http://www.mountolivet.com/ Jeanne M.
