Lowe Jr. *Said to be buried here, no stone located Located at the end of Livingston Lane, Midway, Greene Co., TN. This small family cemetery is located on what was once the Tom and Nervy Ragan Farm (brother and sister), Steve Cansler currently owns it. Access is through land owned by Mrs. Dave (Mary Ragan) Livingston, where their son "Curly" Livingston lives. Go past the barn, follow the old road that ends at the gate adjoining the Cansler land, proceed through the gate and into the woods. There are at least four unmarked graves, some of which are suppose to be graves of slaves. Tom and Nervy Ragan are said to have been the last people buried here. The following stones are exceptionally well preserved. Always remember to ask permission to cross private property, and re-close gates. HAUN, Catharine A. wife of J. D.
