SHEPARD CEMETERY

            Shepard Cemetery is a well-maintained family cemetery on Cane Creek in Perry County, Tennessee. Turn onto highway 438 at Beardstown. Go about a mile. Turn on a farm lane leading to a house. Before reaching the house, go right toward some large feed storage bins. Follow the drive beyond the bins to the cemetery. In addition to identified burials listed below, there are nine graves marked with fieldstones.
