While driving around this weekend I came across a small private graveyard. I transcribed the following in hopes that someone will recognize these names: Gleaves Graveyard Hermitage, TN (Davidson County) Single Headstones with two names: Bettie A. Gleaves 5/5/1885 - 7/8/1936 Thomas B. Gleaves 3/9/1885 - 5/27/1972 Thomas H. Gleaves 4/26/1831 - 9/29/1910 Mary J. Gleaves 3/4/1830 - 12/4/1904 Single headstones: Nora Dowell Gleaves 7/14/1874 - 1/24/1951 Mary J. Gleaves (older than above stone) 3/4/1830 - 12/4/1904 "Mary hath chosen the good part which shall not be taken away from her." Richard Franklin Gleaves Son of John G. and Elizabeth W. Gleaves 8/24/1832 - 7/23/1867 John G. Gleaves 1/16/1801 - 6/14/1854 Finis C. Gleaves Infant son of John G. and Elizabeth Gleaves 3/12/1846 - 10/12/1849 Felix C. Gleaves Infant son of John G. and Elizabeth Gleaves 12/26/1834 - 5/29/1836 J. Harry Gleaves 8/20/1874 - 9/14/1893(8?) Dan Clark Gleaves 6/13/1937 - 6/24/1995 Small headstones with no dates: Harry Gleaves Annie Gleaves Jno. B. Gleaves Other names: J. R. Wilson 3/5/1842 - 6/10/1906 "Beloved by his wife" Maurice Turner Yelton 12/9/1905 - 8/1/1907 Annie Yelton (no dates) J. G. Yelton (no dates) Maurice Yelton (no dates) Many of the headstones were sunk too far into the ground to read; two or three of the larger ones had been overturned though apparently not by vandals. The graveyard itself was overgrown but obviously protected from construction going on nearby. The newest grave had semi-fresh flowers so it is not being completely neglected though it appears it isn't visited often. Hope somebody finds some value in this!
