BAIRD CEMETERY - GIBSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE

The Baird Cemetery was originally located in southern Milan, TN, but
the cemetery stones were lost.  However, they were rediscovered, having
been moved and reburied a short distance from the original location.
The stones were moved to Oakwood Cemetery in Milan and are located
to the left of the main gate.  They look oddly out-of-place in this
fairly new part of the cemetery (of course they are).

I documented the tombstones while at their current location at Oakwood.
Remember that no one is actually buried under these stones.  This is
just a memorial to those buried at the Baird Cemetery.

        In front of the stones, there is a fairly new stone reading:
			      "In Memory of the
			      John Baird Family
				     and
				  Cemetery"
