McClanahan Family Cemetery

Memorials	:	0
Location	:	Beech Grove, Trousdale County, USA
Coordinate	:	36.4043000, -86.0825000
Description	:	The McClanahan Cemetery is bad off. It consists mostly of limestone pieces of creek bed that may have once had something scratched into them stuck edge first into the ground and with briars hiding most of them. I was able to identify about ten burial sites in three uneven rows but there may have been more. It can be found by following McClanahan Hollow Rd east from Oglesby Road one-half mile past the Woodmore-Fleeman Cemetery then turning into a gravel drive marked as Jim McClanahan Lane. There is also a brown sign pointing down the drive... Read More	The McClanahan Cemetery is bad off. It consists mostly of limestone pieces of creek bed that may have once had something scratched into them stuck edge first into the ground and with briars hiding most of them. I was able to identify about ten burial sites in three uneven rows but there may have been more. It can be found by following McClanahan Hollow Rd east from Oglesby Road one-half mile past the Woodmore-Fleeman Cemetery then turning into a gravel drive marked as Jim McClanahan Lane. There is also a brown sign pointing down the drive and labeled - McClanahan Cemetery. This is the old hollow owned by the McClanahan family as far back as records can be found. It was bought from James Calvin McClanahan in the early 1970's by Dr. Sam Garrett. The cemetery itself takes a little searching. Jump the cable and cross the creek and follow the gravel ruts about 150 yards until you see the remains of a chimney on the left. When you are even with the front of the chimney look directly across the road about 25 yards down slope for a grove of trees. During my visit there was a deer stand in the largest tree and this tree marks the north-west corner of the graveyard. Continuing up the road another 15-20 yards there is a place that passes into a small field with a bran on the far side. This field abuts against the cemetery on the southern edge and is the easiest access to the graves. 2010 UPDATE: Doc Garret passed away and his son auctioned off the land. I don't think the new owners were aware that they had a cemetery on their property until they started clearing the area for a homesite and horse pasture, however once discovered they fenced off the area and have preserved the graves. The area is actually in better shape for their care. Although it is still hard to determine an exact number it appears there are actually 25+ graves though they are largely of unknown people or entirely unmarked.
