BEELER CEMETERY, CLAIBORNE CO., TN Old Rte 63 East, West of Speedwell Road Speedwell, TN This file is part of the TN Tombstone Transcription Project: http://www.usgwtombstones.org/tennessee/tenn.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Mildred Collins Wasser (grannymw@comcast.net) The cemetery is in excellent condition. It has a few unmarked graves and six or seven marked with fieldstones. Three of the inscribed stones are so smooth they cannot be read. This cemetery was surveyed September 6, 1998 by four generations of my family, my Daughter, Sheila M. Collins Fuhr, my granddaughter, Jacqueleine Victoria Collins, my Great-grandson Sean Colin Fuhr and myself, Mildred Collins Wasser NAME DOB DOD SPOUSE PARENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION ==================================================================================================================== Ausmus, Alta Mae 12-8-1894 12-8-1894 Ausmus, Arthur H. 8-22-1884 2-25-1974 Hattie Beeler Ausmus, Emmon 6-7-1889 12-31-1893 Ausmus, Hassie 11-12-1875 11-16-1951 J.
