Submitted by Bobby Carwile on behalf of Mary Ann Linn LaRue, who compiled the following enumeration from the lists of Estelle Bass COSBY (1964), the Giles County Historical Society (ca 1986), the Flournoy Rivers Manuscripts (1898) and two enumerations by Mary Ann Linn Larue (1985 and 1986) to correct errors. Please advise of other errors.

No alphabetizing was done within family groups to allow clues to relationships from proximity of stones. All dates written in day-month-year order for clarity, not as written on stones. Parenthesized info after an entry is the data of Giles County, TNGenWeb Jones Researcher Mary Ann Linn LARUE from collective sources, documentation for this data in other materials. (Mary Ann Linn Larue is a Jones family researcher)

Note: Rivers Manuscript states that there are 205 unmarked graves here in Mt. Carmel Cemetery. No attempt has been made to identify any of those.
