Charles S. Speed born March 4, 1817 died August 26, 1856, aged 39
years, 5 months, 22 days. _ Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
Submitted by Chuck Speed This is a photograph taken at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in July 2001,
just south of Martin, Tennessee of the burial site of Charles Stuart Speed
who died in 1856. When I first found the gravesite, the top half of the
grave marker was missing. I later had a replacement marker made and found
the upper half of the original one buried just under the ground where it
had fallen. Both markers are shown in the picture. Pleasant Hill Cemetery
is located just to the south of the intersection of Old Troy Road and Pleasant
Hill Road just across the street from the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist
Church which was founded in the early 1830�s. Charles Speed and his wife,
Martha Cowell, were early members of the church.
