BLUFF CHAPEL OR MORGAN GRAVEYARD

Located on Highway 100 west, turn left at Brown’s Crossing, take road to Decaturville and go 1 mile. Graveyard is in view of the white frame house on the Charlie Kennedy farm. The Kennedy caretaker claims this is the Morgan graveyard. Years ago there was a church here known as Bluff Chapel. This cemetery was indexed by Margarett Alexander on February 23, 1976. This graveyard is in real good shape [1976]. Ms. Alexander noted "15 unmarked graves."

 

Morgan, George Morgan, d. Nov. 20, 1897, "Age 92" "Co. E. 6th Tenn Cav." This grave has two tombstones — one is a Union marker as he was a guerrilla in the Union Army.
