While researching in the death records at the Tennessee State Library and Archives, we discovered the name “Buena Vista Cemetery.” Both of us have surveyed and researched the cemeteries of Washington County, Tennessee since the 1970’s. Neither of us had heard about Buena Vista Cemetery. We have abstracted the names, death dates and death certificate numbers of those buried in this cemetery.
According to the Tennessee Death Records the following people are buried in Buena Vista Cemetery. A cemetery by this name no longer exists in Washington County, Tennessee. An elderly lady who lived near Oakland Avenue in Johnson City, suggested that we look in the back of Monte Vista Cemetery, in a wooded area near the fence that separates the cemetery property from St. Mary’s Catholic Church (Section R/J) . There are many unmarked graves in this section. The personnel in the office at Monte Vista didn’t have any information on Buena Vista.
Some additional information that might be found on a certificate: birth date, place of birth, father’s name and birth place, mother’s name and birth place, what the person died from, attending physican, place of burial, undertaker, person supplying the information.
These death certificates may be viewed online at: Ancestry.com. Tennessee, Death Records, 1908-1958 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA. They are also available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives on microfilm.
