Bussell Cemetery analysis

 

 

Analysis contributed by:  Jan Monnin

19 March 2009

Photos contributed by:  Wilda Patterson

 

This is a recent cemetery with all 20th century burials. It is just south of highway 100 (now U.S. 412) on the U.S.G.S. Perryville quadrangle. A sign at the cemetery reads "Bussell Cemetery/In Memory of J. H. and Ida Bussell." This is cemetery is located in the Cypress Creek section of the Tennessee River watershed.

 

The following are the known transcriptions of this cemetery:

  • Recorded in the Bowen book in the 1990's.  Click here to view it;

  • David Donahue recorded the cemetery on 28 December 1988 and updated it on 16 April 1999, 17 August 2004, 02 October 2004;

  • Photographs of the tombstones were taken by Wilda Patterson in March 2009, which are shown below;
