GIBSON COUNTY CEMETERIES - MT. PISGAH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CEMETERY

Located east of Idlewild, which is between Bradford and Milan, on the
Mt. Pisgah Road.

Church records state that a committee acquired land for this cemetery
in the year 1908 and that it replaced the church's former burial
ground, Crocker Cemetery.  The oldest year of death I found was 1911,
but there may have been burials previous to that at unmarked graves
or with uninscribed tombstones.

COOK, Joyce Sue			Jan. 24, 1936		Oct. 25, 1986
	"We Loved You Mother"

In a grown-up area near the fence at the back of the cemetery, there
I located a large, uninscribed block, appearing to be the base of an
headstone.  It also had a footmarker, but it had no writing either.
There were saplings and many irises growing on the gravesite.

Apology for errors is made now.  This cemetery was documented by
Adam D. McCartney on May 26, 1999.  Some tombstones in the oldest part
of the cemetery were difficult to read, so I wrote down what I could
make out on them.  It is inevitable that some of the information above
is incorrect, but I used every caution in making it as accurate as
possible.
