Perry County, Tennessee

Roberts Barnett Cemetery is a small cemetery that overlooks the
embayment of Kentucky Lake into the lower reaches of Toms Creek.
The cemetery is located on a hill on the right side of Tom’s Creek Road, about 3
miles from Pineview, overlooking the backwater of Tennessee River. The cemetery
has a wrought iron sign and fence around the front, erected after 2004, and is
well kept. There are some unmarked graves. The
cemetery is very well maintained. Many of the markers have been
replaced. There are a dozen or so unmarked or unidentified graves.
Note: At the lower end of the cemetery is a row of four homemade
cement markers. In each a temporary marker plate was placed behind
glass and embedded in the cement slab. These markers are unreadable in
1999 and were not read by the Bowens circa 1992.
This cemetery is located in the Tom's Creek section of the
Tennessee River watershed.

There are
a couple known transcriptions of this cemetery:
-
David
Donahue recorded this cemetery on 26 November 1999;
-
David
Donahue checked and updated it in 29 August 2004;
-
(both of
these transcriptions were recorded on the TnGenWeb site.)
-
Mary (Stewart) Bowen and Melissa (Snyder) Bowen
recorded the cemetery in the early 1990s. Their record appears in
Mary
Bowen's Perry County, Tennessee Cemetery Records (Vol. I). This
earlier record is referred to as Bowen in the notes below.

In the list below, I’ve started with what is recorded on
the
new searchable TnGenWeb site, compared it to the other transcriptions and
made a note of any difference.

Per Wilda Patterson, Feb 2009: In Oct
2005, the glass was broken on one of the concrete markers at the rear of
the cemetery, and the name of Brooksie Crowell was "etched" into the metal
plate. It was not recorded in the earlier transcriptions in 1992 and
1999. I contacted the Luff-Bowen Funeral Home in Waverly and was
told they had the burial record of B.B. Crowell. The record stated:
"Brooksie Bandy Crowell, age 38 yrs, 11 mos, & 3 days. Born Jan 5,
1900 and died Dec 8, 1938 at Pope, Tenn. His father's name was not
legible, but could be (Marvin?) Crowell and his mother was Emma McCaig. |

From
Wilda: at the back end of the cemetery is a row of 4 homemade
concrete markers. These markers had glass over a temporary plate and
were unreadable by Bowen in 1992 and by Donahue in 1999. According
to Alice Barker, granddaughter of Delia O'Guin Coleman, these graves are
Delia and her three infant children, Susan, Alice, James. |
