I finally did that, lol. There are only 5 marked graves out of possibly 1700. I sure wished there was a way to actually locate individual graves. Hope there is some list of who is buried where that still exists somewhere. I want to have a proper monument set up for my great-grandfather. Not sure how I could do that, however.

Just copy it, all the way to "  .htm  ", paste into your browser and there it is.

Might want to contact them and see if you could get his information released (death certificates do not usually tell where in a cemetery a  person is buried, but cemetery records usually do.) -----Original Message----- From: tndavids-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tndavids-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Wolfman Jack Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 8:21 AM To: tndavids@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNDAVIDS] Tennessee Law regarding cemeteries. Debie, that's what I thought. I know over in DeKalb County several years ago some guy was trying to block access to a family cemetery and the family sued him and he was forced to provide access. What I am wondering is where my great-grandfather James Lawson Steele (1879 - July 1919) is most likely buried. He died in the old Central State Hospital over by the airport in Nashville. I know there's a cemetery for colored folk who died at that facility and another for white folk who died there. I assume he is buried on the grounds, as he died there 23 July 1919. Sure do wish there were records of who was buried over there. If I can ever locate his grave, I'll have a monument put up for him.
