Another Farm has a small grove of tombstones. This is located in Henning, and is right beside an old road bed going from the town (then) of Durhamville to the town of Henning and on to Fulton. These stones are 'very' hard to read and are falling apart. They look as if someone once tried to wire them to a post to hold them up. {Oral history from an older native Laud. Countian. Hasn't been proven but seems to ring true with the Laud. Co. history book: When my husband bought this ground, the man who owned the land next to his new purchase told him there used to be an old ante-bellum home on his property to the North of the road bed that separated the two farms. He also told him that this road (bed) is the road that Nathan Bedford Forrest was said to have marched from Brownsville (Haywood Co.) to Fort Pillow (Lauderdale Co.) (submitted by Amanda Queen ) |
