Book Title: A HISTORY OF ROME AMD FLOYD COUNTY

THE JOHN HUME CEMETERY.

   This private burial ground was established by John Hume, the pioneer, on his
country estate, "Tantatanara" ("Running Waters") on the Southern railway two
miles north of North Rome and about two miles east of the Oostanaula river. It
is 1,500 feet northwest of the old home. In this lonely spot, nurtured by the
gentle breezes and the glamour of the long ago, sleep the following in peace
everlasting:

   John Hume, senior, born Charleston, S. C., Feb. 8, 1798, died Rome, Ga., Oct.
19, 1872.

   Ann Mazyck, wife of John Hume, born July 10, 1818, died May 14, 1881. John
Hume, Jr., born June 24, 1834, died May 11, 1888.

   Ariana S., wife of John Hume, Jr., born Apr. 6, 1830, died Dec. 6, 1878.

   Anne W. Hume, born Dec. 18, 1831, died Feb. 13, 1884.

   Eliza Simons, born July 29, 1834, died Feb. 4, 1858.

   Isaac Wilson Hume, born May 8, 1836, died July 11, 1880.

   Chas. C. Hume, born Oct. 30, 1867, died July 24, 1876.
