J H GATTON  May 16, 1863-March 11, 1943
“At rest.”


Joseph Harris Gatton was the son of Joseph William and Nancy Emeline (McKee) Gatton, his mother buried beside him. He was born and died in Wilson Co., TN at Alexandria. His death certificate differs from the stone in that it states he was born in 1864 and died March 10 instead of the 11th. He married Alice Foutch on April 15, 1885 in Wilson, TN.

Alice Foutch was possibly the daughter of John Calvin and Julia E. (nee David) Foutch of Alexandria, Dekalb Co., TN, and if so, was born about 1866. She died before 1900.

Their children:
(1) Maude L. (b. 1886) md. Thomas Harvey, both buried here
