TOMBSTONES IN GLENWOOD CEMETERY
The following list was originally published in the Glenwood Baptist Church Centennial Celebration Book (1890 – 1990). It is being re-printed by permission of Glenwood Baptist Church, 7212 Central Avenue Pile, Powell, Tennessee 37849. Glenwood Cemetery is not actually a part of Glenwood Baptist Church; however, these records are being included since it is so closely related to the church and the community. Randy Williamson has spent many hours in Glenwood Cemetery recording the information from the tombstones. He has done many rubbings in order to read what time and weather has tried to remove from the old tombstones.
To our knowledge, there is no complete record of everyone who is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. When it is known that a person was actually buried in Glenwood but there is no stone, their names (and birth and death dates when known) have been included. In the case of only one date, either the death date has not been recorded on the stone or the person is still living. Any additional information which could be added (such as maiden names or given names), but is not on the stone, is enclosed in { }.
Many people have helped with the perpetual care of Glenwood Cemetery in many ways through the years. Some, but certainly not all, include Mr. Wyatt Bayless, Miss Elma Bishop, Miss Vinnie R. Bishop, Mr. Edward Cox, Mr. Glenn Craig, Mr. Moore, Mrs. Eva Pellaux Mr. Leon Ridings, Mr. George Simmons, and Mrs. Jackie Thompson.
[I want to thank Jack Widen Lewis who gave me the idea some three years ago that a record of the tombstones should be made. Without that suggestion, it would not have been available to include herein. Also my thanks to Sue Damewood for suggesting that this be included in the Centennial Book. RWW]
