Carnell Cemetery, Humphreys County, Tennessee

by Ben Couch

Located on Highway 13 about two miles north of Waverly, the Carnell Cemetery is directly across from the large, modern Richlawn Cemetery that is used nowadays by most in the area to bury their family members. Before it was sold to the present day occupants, the Hart family, this piece of land belonged to the Scholes family. The cemetery is about 50 feet from their back door. There are three huge cedar trees probably spaced about 20 feet from each other. They form a triangle with John W. Cearnall (as it was spelled both on his tombstone and in census records) buried right in the middle. I think only one stone is upright and intact. The rest are toppled over, broken, and/or halfway buried. All in all, it is in bad condition; however, we have Mr. Hart to thank for cleaning up the cemetery. He said that when he started it was so overgrown that he didn't realize there were more than two stones. Although there are ten identifiable graves, there are probably several others buried in the cemetery.

Answer 1

You should create a free-space page for this cemetery with this information, or link to it because the page is copyrighted by the author.

Do any of these people have profiles? Usually you add the category tag to a profile, then set up the category as per these instructions:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Cemetery_Pages

So, the tag would be [[Category:Carnell Cemetery, Humphreys County, Tennessee]].  Then follow these instructions to finish the set up:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Cemetery_Categorization

Thank you for your help, Natalie.  Your providing the links was a big help.  I finally figured out the directions and got the category set up.

Answer 2

As usual, I tried to set up this category and it takes me to nothing.  The directions say that it is supposed to take me to a place where I can enter the information about the cemetery.  It does not do that.

So as a bear with a little brain,  I finally figured out the "clear as mud" directions.  Would whoever monitors the cemetery category set-up, please contact me.  The directions need to be improved so that someone that is not already a seasoned WikiTreer can follow them.  Please!
