taker of Bear Thicket many years ago. This was found in 1976 it was
yellow with age.

Isom Dennis
Buried Friday, February 8, 1889
Lot 6 of 3rd row 3rd from South end of southwest drive

Isom Dennis, while out with his gun, stopped to talk with his neighbor
the Montgomerys and stood with the butt of his gun on the ground and
the muzzle leaning against his body, where by a tussle of the dogs at
his feet, the gun was set off, the charge entered his body and he lived
but a few minutes. This happened the day before his burial. He leaves a
wife and seven small children. He was the son-in-law of James Melvin.
Isom Dennis is buried in the cemetery next to James and Sally Melvin.
