The Graveyard Rabbit Student!

As a member of the Association of Graveyard Rabbits, this blog is devoted to promoting cemeteries and their preservation, burial customs and traditions, transcribing tombstones, and the general study of cemeteries. I believe that cemeteries are an important part of our history and genealogy. By studying these cemeteries, we can better understand our ancestors and their cultures and lives. By preserving these cemeteries, we are giving future generations a chance to learn about the past.

He lived in eastern Tennessee in Johnson County. He was born about 1835.

Note: This picture was taken by Kathy Bilbrey, a FindAGrave.com volunteer. It is because of people like her that I am able to see the graves of my ancestors that are buried very far away from me. I am always grateful to the wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable volunteers.
