““At least nine graves were damaged or toppled over.”
There’s your break!

Graves are friggen expensive now and with that many it makes sense to me.

The Revolution in Tennessee???
Is this person actually referring to the Civil War being in Tennessee?

Perhaps I’m misinformed, but it simply sounded strange to me that the Revolution was fought in Tennessee.

If the stones were toppled over, why not just stand them up??

9 graves for around $5000 each. Stone masons don’t come cheap.

You’d be surprised
I’ve done it

8 foot granite cross
Two descriptive 2x3 foot stones for my parents

20,000 plus

15 years ago

Btw in the same town as this but in the antebellum cemetery on highland ave

I think this is the Lytle cemetery itself

White Alabama marble looks great but it doesn’t hold up

FWIW
