I disagree, In that case every obituaray that has ever been printed would not be able to appear on-line. However, I do agree that posting some information on living individuals is questionable. As I live in Germany, far away from any library or court house record in the USA, I primarily research on-line so 98% percent of my findings come from the internet. It is my view that if it has been printed to the public in a newspaper then it is public property and can be used. If it was generally held that no information about a living person can be made public then: -marriage & engagement announcements (common in all newspapers) -birth announcements (common in all newspapers) -death & obituary announcements (Like Jennings Funeral Home) Would not be possible. I for one would not like to see these dissapear from newspapers...would you?

Peggy, Having been instrumental in the saving and ongoing maintenance of a historic old cemetery in White Co., TN, I have learned a lot. First, there are no government monies for maintenance of private cemeteries in TN. There are laws that permit relatives and descendants to visit and maintain the cemeteries. There are also laws that empower local courts and law enforcement people to enforce the TN Cemetery and Burial Laws, but the results are quite inconsistent and usually reluctantly followed or flatly denied. Diplomacy, compromise, and sweat equity, however, have worked for us in White County rather than law enforcement. The cemetery in White County, TN is the burial site of William BUTRAM, II, who is the ancestor of all the BERTRAM descendants in Fentress Co., TN and surrounding area. Here are some links to websites that should help you. The third one can be downloaded in pdf format if you have free Adobe software. (From almost any government website.) http://www.savinggraves-us.org/tn/index.htm http://www.tngenweb.org/law/cemetery-law.html http://www.davidsoncocemeterysurvey.com/Tennessee%20Cemetery.pdf#search=%22TN%20Cemetery%20laws%22 Good luck!

Apparently individuals who had been mowing the cemetery found it easier to collect the stones and stack them to the side and then mow. After mowing stones were returned to positions on the graves. This may explain why my father always insisted that many of the stones were not where they should have been when we went back to visit. Does Tennessee have any type of program that allows for state funds to be used in the maintenance of these older cemeteries? Or, is it the family members' responsibility to maintain these sites? If this task belongs to family members, can anyone suggest a reputable firm for mowing and maintenance?

Fabian and Others I'm going to put my two cents worth in here and hope it helps anyone who is interested. Wilma Othie Delk Sr. age 66 of Jamestown died at the Fentress County General Hospital Wednesday afternoon. Funeral arragements were not complete a the Jamestown Funeral Home at press time. Survivors are his wife Adar Delk, seven sons, Junior (Othie Jr.), Clayton, Shelby and Luther Delk all of Jamestown, Dee, Everett and Verdie all of Peoria, IL.

The rev. Travis Conatser officiated, buria was in the Franklin Cemetery. UPPER CUMBERLAND TIME 6-22-1961

It has recently come to my attention that older, rural cemeteries like the one at Bill's Creek are not always being maintained. Or, perhaps more correctly, some sections are not being maintained. A family member has noted that stones marking some of the graves had been thrown over the hill and that other markers had been moved from their original locations.

A final question.is there a record someplace of each name, date of birth and/or death, and place in the cemetery? Many thanks, Peggy Yates Riley

Peggy, I don't know about the availability of state funds for the maintenance and care of old cemeteries, but I can answer your other question re: is there a record someplace of each name, date of birth and/or death, and place in the cemetery? Answer: Mabel Wheeler compiled a book Cemetery Records of Fentress County Tenn, copyright 1988. It lists the names of about 60 persons buried in Bill's Creek Cemetery and states that there are many field stone markers with no writing on them.
