GLADNEY-REEVES CEMETERY

This cemetery is located in Madison Co., TN. Turn off Hwy 18 onto Bowman Rd in Medon and go 1.1 mile to a field road on south side of the road. It is 2/10 of a mile from the Bowman Rd. It is being pastured and in very poor condition. There are many unmarked graves and overturned stones that we found and copied, but probably were some we did not find. By Floyd & Helen Johnson, February 25, 1984.

Quoting from "Historic Madison" The first settlements were made near Medon about 1825. Among the settlers were Mauldin Reeves, Stephen Lacy. The Methodist in the Medon community began meeting in the home of Mauldin Reeves in 1826 & met here for 10 yrs before a log church was constructed on land furnished by Wm. R. Reeves. This became known as Reeves Chapel.
