Nancy Morrison -- State Line Cemetery, South Pittsburg TN - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

A charming rural cemetery near an interesting US tri-point for TN-GA-AL has been a peaceful place for eternal rest for local folks since the early 1800s.

This cemetery is not the easiest to find, what with all the curvy mountain roads and Lake Nickajack close by. Fortunately, there is a sign at the turn off onto Macedonia Baptist Church Road from the TN state highway 156 that thoughtfully includes an arrow for State Line Cemetery.

Many of the graves here are marked with chunks of local stone only, so it's hard to determine exactly how many folks are buried here. The site has been used as a cemetery for 200 years, so Blasterz are sure there are more graves here than meet the eye.

The grave of Nancy Morrison is also marked with a homemade rough stone marker, complete with backwards letters. Hers is one of few here with words engraved on it.

As best we could make out, her tombstone reads as follows:

"[front]

NANCY MORRISON

Was B 5 D 1818
D Ap 26 1900
At Res"

[back --in a different hand on a smoother face of the stone]

NANCY MORRISON

D 1818
Apr 26 1900"

A modern monument below reads:

"NANCY MORRISON

APR 26, 1900"

Date of Birth: 02 Dec 1818 Date of Death: 26 Apr 1900 Material: Stone Web Site: [Web Link]
