  • Cemeteries by Location by Nancy Protected
    CEMETERIES OF MCNAIRY COUNTY COMPILED BY NANCY WARDLOW KENNEDY This has been a ‘when I can find time to work on it,’ project for about four years now. I am sure many errors are in this book because of several factors: 1. Much of this information was given to me verbally. 2. Cemetery names are remembered differently by different people. Example: A little cemetery in my neighborhood of my youth was called Chenault. There is only one Chenault buried there - Naricusus Richards Chenault. It is actually the Richards Cemetery, the family of John Richards. 3. Since this project took so long, some of the data was lost and a file on the computer was distorted and was never fully regained. The project needed to be finished, errors and all. Hopefully this will be a work in progress and people are welcome to add comments or additions. Thanks to Albert Brown and Harold Cox for their cemetery transcriptions which was referred to many times. I wish to thank the many, many people that helped with this project. The numerous people I talked with for information and those wonderful people from the county and the internet that contacted me with information and made this a delightful project. Thanks to Helen King and Dorothy Smith clerks in the McNairy County Records Room for their help in this project over the years and also Nancy McClain for going with me to visit many cemeteries and Pat Jones Blanton for listening to me all the time.

  • Carroll's Yesteryears
    Carroll County Times “Carroll’s Yesteryears” Articles "Confederate Memorial Day" Carroll County Times article for 2 June 1995 By Jay A. Graybeal The last time I wrote a column about Memorial Day, a reader asked why I never wrote about the Confederate Memorial Day. Although the holiday is not observed in Maryland, perhaps as many as 20,000 Marylanders fought for the Confederacy. Of these, at least 100 were from Carroll County. A thorough description of the holiday can be found in The Book of Days by Jane M. Hatch: Although the idea of a memorial day, and of decorating the graves of the dead, is ancient, the institution of a purely American memorial day grew out of the desolation and heartbreak of the Civil War. There are contradictory claims as to where the first memorial day observance took place. Claimants include Vicksburg, Mississippi; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Petersburg, Virginia; Columbus, Mississippi; Waterloo, New York; Richmond, Virginia; and Charleston, South Carolina. It is certain, however, that all of the early observances grew out of spontaneous individual acts toward the end of, or just after, the Civil War. Confederate Memorial Day, widely observed in southern states, which were largely members of the Confederacy, is marked on a number of different dates - among them the fourth Monday in April (Alabama and Mississippi); May 10, the anniversary of the 1865 apprehension of Jefferson Davis by Federal cavalry (North Carolina and South Carolina); and June 3, Jefferson Davis' birthday (Kentucky and Louisiana). April 26 is a legal holiday in Florida and Georgia. On this date in 1865, two notable events took place.
