CUDE CEMETERY

Cude Cemetery, October 1999

 

             This overgrown cemetery is located on Old Highway 13 south of the crossroads community of Beardstown. It looks abandoned but is still in use. It was recorded October 16, 1999. Mary (Stewart) Bowen and Melissa (Snyder) Bowen recorded the cemetery in the early 1990s. Their record appears in Perry County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (Vol. 1) (Mary N. Bowen, Linden, Tennessee, 1992). This is referred to as "Bowen" in the notes below. Circa 1992 the Bowens noted that the older part of the cemetery was overgrown. In 1999, dense shade and a dense vine ground cover left the older part of the cemetery fairly accessible thought flush-to-the-ground style markers were very difficult to find. The sunlit newer part of the cemetery near the road was completely obscured by tall weeds.
