Other Information
This Cemetery has several Graves that are marked
with old stones no inscriptions, I have recently re-erected a couple of
my ancestors stones with inscriptions, after both stones had been
broken. The site was very hard for me to find, without proper
information. Directions are take Bowles Road in Versailles Tennessee
south to Newtown Road. Look approximately 500 feet over your left
shoulder at the stop sign facing Newtown Road in a clump of trees. Was
Jimmie Lamberts Farm.
