This cemetery was adjacent the old Friendship Baptist Church which was established about 1830. Rev. Peter Satterfield (Sutterfield) was one of the early ministers.  The Church was moved and renamed Oak Grove in 1867 due to a conflict with a neighboring property owner.

In addition to the above graves there are several probable burials in this cemetery.

Thornton, Sarah, b. 1 Mar 1763, d. Oct 1849, wife of Josiah

To reach the cemetery, travel north from the courthouse square in Waynesboro on Highway 13N. Turn left onto highway 228 (Beech Creek Rd.). Travel 2.9 miles and turn left crossing the Colvert Holt Memorial bridge. Turn right at the stop sign and proceed past the Old Union Church. Turn right at the next stop sign & travel .8 mile to the cemetery. This is a very narrow road with hills & curves. This cemetery has several graves marked only with fieldstones with no information. Some of these may be the reason for the cemetery name.

John William Tune was the oldest child of Kester T. Tune and Mary Ann Grimes.

Kester Tune was born Feb. 7, 1815, in Halifax Co., Virginia, the son of William Tune and Rainy Scurlock. The Tune surname has been spelled Toon, Toone, and Tune. It is believed that all of the Tunes that located in the middle Tennessee area were the sons of William and Rainy Tune. William is believed to be the son of Travis (Traverse) Tune and Millie Daniels.

Mary Ann Grimes was born about 1816, the daughter of John H. and Anna Grimes. Kester and Mary Ann were married December 17, 1838, in Maury Co., TN, with Mary Ann’s brother Doctor Green Grimes listed on their marriage license as surety for their marriage. John William was born in Maury Co. on January 3, 1840. Other children born to Kester and Mary Ann Tune were Emily G., abt. 1844; Caleb T., abt. 1849; Eliza Ann, abt. 1855; Alexander A., born April 7, 1857; Samuel H., abt. 1860; Mary Elizabeth, abt. 1862; Adaline, abt. 1864; and Martha L. abt. 1866. By 1860 with the stirrings of war on the horizon, Kester and Mary Ann Tune and their family, along with various Grimes families, had moved to Wayne Co., TN, where Kester farmed his land at the mouth of Hardins Creek. The Grimes families also lived in close proximity along Hardins Creek. The Tune family worshiped at the Presbyterian church. On June 1, 1878, it is recorded in church records that Brother Kester T. Tune “by his own request” transferred from the Clifton Presbyterian congregation to the Shady Grove congregation. Kester was also a Mason.

John William Tune’s mother Mary Ann Grimes Tune died sometime between 1866 and 1869. On April 8, 1869, his father Kester married Sarah Moore. Kester died at his home on Hardins Creek April 28, 1900. The exact location of Kester’s, Mary Ann’s, and Sarah’s graves is unknown at this writing but according to an elderly grandson “all the Tunes” are buried in the Tune Cemetery on the old Tune property in Wayne Co.

John W. Tune was a laborer on his father’s farm in Wayne Co. when he enlisted in the Confederate Army on October 15, 1861. He was in Capt. J. W. Eldridge’s Artillery Company. This company was successively called Captain Eldridge’s, Captain Wright’s, Captain Mebane’s, and Captain Phillips’ Company Tennessee Light Artillery. It served for a time in Cobb’s Battalion of Artillery, a temporary field organization composed of independent companies from various states. John participated in the battles of Franklin, Chickamauga, and Spanish Fort in Alabama. The company surrendered at Citronelle, Alabama, on May 4, 1865, and was paroled at Meridian, MS, on May 10, 1865.

John W. Tune married Caroline Briley Garner on March 26, 1868, at the home of Caroline’s father Andrew Briley on White Oak Creek in Perry County. Witnessing the marriage from Caroline’s family was Bash Briley and John’s brother Caleb T. Tune. John and Caroline set up housekeeping next door to William and Nancy Briley in Perry County. The Briley and Howell families owned and farmed adjoining lands on the White Oak, Bee, Short, and Cedar Creeks, and several marriages were celebrated among the different families.

Frances Ann Tune was the first child born to John and Caroline Tune, arriving on April 26, 1869. She was followed by a brother Henry Alfred Tune on April 11, 1871. Another girl was born February 16, 1873 whom they named Lou Ella Tune. A little less than 2 years later, Caroline died on November 22, 1874. The location of her grave is unknown.

John’s second wife was Susan Caroline Howell, the daughter of George W. and Lucinda Jane Butler Howell. They married April 29, 1875 in Perry Co. The children born to John and Susan Howell Tune were William Allen, born March 5, 1876; Sarah Jane “Sally”, born February 12, 1878; George Kester born January 16, 1880; Mary Bell, born March 19, 1882; John Newton, born October 10, 1884; James Walter born February 24, 1887; and Nancy Caroline Myrtle born July 20, 1889. The year 1880 found John and Susan Tune living in Wayne Co. By the time their son John Newton Tune was born in 1884, they had moved to Obion Co., TN, along with Susan’s parents George and Lucinda Howell.

George W. Howell was born January 13, 1827, near Corinth in Mississippi . His father was Joseph Howell. Little George was orphaned at an early age, and according to Howell family records, he then lived in the home of “Uncle Foster” Bate but no family relationship is known. Lucinda J. Butler Howell’s birth date is December 8, 1829. She was the daughter of James and Elizabeth Toombs Butler. Elizabeth Toombs Butler’s mother was a Youree from Georgia. After the death of Elizabeth’s first husband, she married Edward Butler an early organizer of Wayne Co. Following his death, she lived with George and Lucinda Howell in Obion Co. where she died. Elizabeth Butler Morrison is buried in Beech Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Obion Co., TN.

George W. and Lucinda J. Howell were married July 6, 1848. A Howell family Bible lists their children as Nancy E. born October 2, 1849; Mary Ann born August 7, 1851; Martha Jane born September 17, 1853; Susan Caroline born October 7, 1855; John E. born November 3, 1857; Sarah C. born March 30, 1860; William David born October 2, 1862, he lived but a few days; George Allen born September 2, 1864; Joe Henry born May 5, 1867; Robert Lee born May 18, 1871; and Melissa Ann born December 18, 1873. There is no listing in the 1860 census, of daughters Nancy E. and Martha Jane, but there was another child listed named Lucinda who was 3 months old. Lucinda is not listed in the 1870 census, so these three children may have all died before 1870. George W. Howell died in Obion Co. August 25, 1888, and Lucinda Jane Butler Howell died in Obion Co. May 31, 1915. They are buried in Beech Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Obion Co.

Susan Howell Tune died August 6, 1891 in Obion Co. She is buried in an unmarked grave next to her parents graves in the Beech Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Her grandmother Elizabeth Butler Morrison is buried next to her. According to John and Susan Howell’s granddaughter Susan Caroline Tune Vinson of Union City, TN, six generations of Tunes and Howells to the present have attended the Beech Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Obion Co.

With Susan’s death, it was difficult for John to care for his remaining family. The youngest daughter who was called Myrtle died at age 11 on June 27, 1900. John lived in a little house beside his son John Newton Tune. Granddaughter Susan Tune Vinson remembers that he smoked a pipe and had a long white beard. He moved to the Tennessee Home for Confederate Soldiers on the grounds of the Hermitage in Nashville, TN, where he lived out his final days and died on June 30, 1925. He is buried in grave number 24 at the Confederate Cemetery by the Tulip Grove Church at the Hermitage . There is a huge granite monument in the center of the cemetery which bears this inscription:

This crude unhewn piece of everlasting granite
is here to mark the resting place of manly men.
Men like it. Firm, solid, true men who in support
of principle, uncomplainingly endured hunger,
cold, and privation which history cannot record.
The sturdy men grouped about this rugged stone
died in

The Tennessee Home for Confederate Soldiers
This stone will stand the test of time.
The souls of the tried men grouped about it
Will endure throughout eternity.

Several stories, told by Roy, of his experiences during World War I were remembered and recorded by his daughters. They were submitted along with his biography and a published here as part of that biography. They are written in first person, Roy C. BREWER speaking.

The Argonne Cemetery

For a time I was stationed in the Verdun area and assigned to a company that helped build the Argonne Cemetery. In an infantry company a soldier may see a lot of other boys killed. While it affects you to see your friends and acquaintances killed, you are always moving, trying to stay alive. Not even combat could prepare us for what we experienced building the cemetery.

I don’t remember how many acres the cemetery contained, but it would have made a very large farm. We laid the graves out in straight rows so that every way you looked rows would fan out in a straight manner. When we started they had our dead boys laid out and stacked like cord wood. There were great big stacks all around the area. The bodies still had their dog tags on them so we could identify each boy with his grave.

Our camp was ten or twelve miles from the cemetery, but you could smell the decaying bodies even back there. I hope no one ever has to see or smell something like that again.

THE GRAND TOUR

After the Armistice, I was assigned to a guard company that guarded German prisoners of war. Even though they would be repatriated in a little while, we still were responsible for them and maintained a loosely guarded POW camp. The people who lived in that area were mostly Germans and would provide a place for escaped POW’s to hide.

One morning my Captain, a man from near Nashville, told me that a POW had walked off during the night. He also said that no telling where that rascal had gone. He gave me a European wide pass/orders and told me to find the guy if I had to go all over Europe to do it. I took that to mean that the Captain would not be upset if this Wayne County boy took what would probably be his only chance ever to see Europe. I was gone almost six weeks, visited most of the big cities, did some dancing and no little bit of drinking before coming back to the area near our camp, captured the missing POW and marched back to our camp.

THE RUSSIANS

After the Russian Revolution, the new government stopped sending provisions to their troops that were left in France. They were in terrible shape. Most of them could not speak either French or English. They had no money as they were seldom paid even before the Revolution. Some of the boys were very good at carving. I bought several carved horses and so forth from them. I don’t know what happened to those carvings. It would be nice to have them now.

I almost got sent to Russia. You know we landed an expeditionary force in Vladevostock. Some thought we would support the White Russians against the Reds. Just before I was supposed to leave for Russia someone changed his mind and I got to come home.

THE TRIP HOME

On the way back to Tennessee we were on a troop train. I think we were in Trenton, New Jersey. Anyway, we were in a train car packed with troops. When we stopped, this old Italian came by pushing a big cart of fruit that he was trying to sell to people who were on the train. Somebody hollered, “Hey, BREWER, bet you won’t get us a stalk of bananas.” Well, I climbed out an open window, ran up to the cart and grabbed a stalk of bananas and pitched them through the open train window. The old Italian was cussing me good in both English and Italian. I told him to send the bill to Uncle Sam. By the time the train had started again I was back aboard but the other boys had already eaten all of the bananas.
