| Go east from Clarksville on HW 64 E until you cross Big Piney Creek east
of Knoxville. You will turn left on HW 359 about .7 mile from Big Piney. Go on HWY 359 for
2.2 miles to County Road 431, turn right on this road, go .7 mile to T junction in road,
turn right. Go .5 mile to lane on right. This lane has a metal cable with a padlock across
it. Go down this lane for 175 yards (steps). The road goes around the north and west sides
of this cemetery. Starting on the west side of the cemetery here are the graves we found: Off in the southwest corner by itself is one grave right by the road. It is for Ern Dale born 04 Aug 1931 died 27 Apr 1993 Humphrey funeral home marker. If it had not had bright red flowers on it, we would not have seen it.

There was light purple paint on the trees at the lane, so the land is posted. I have no idea who owns this land. |
