Add Photosom I-65 take Exit 32 toward Mooresville 2 tenths of a mile and turn right (North) onto Gupton Road. Go about 1 1/4 mile north on Gupton Road and look left and there will be a Fence Row (shown above as a green line) going away from the Road (west) leading first down into a hollow and continuing up a sharp hill to a ridge running parallel with the road. The cemetery is to the right (north) of that fence row upon the top of that ridge among a stand of Trees (mostly Cedar). The cemetery is at a distance of about 250 yards west of Gupton Road.
Sadly this cemetery has been nearly destroyed by Vandals since it was last transcribed. Not a single stone was found standing when I arrived. Only two of the inscriptions could be read complete without digging and putting broken peices together. I managed to upright the Thomas Orr memorial while there and it was OK due to being buried beneath the soil (lost to the vandals.)
The largest monument, a one ton modern gray granite memorial, was toppled on its face by a large tree trunk pushing up against the base rendering it out of level. Couple that with cattle rubbing against it to appease their itching and it fell off its base onto its face. The stone weighs as much as a ton so no one can raise it without equipment. It is the Vincent memorial and I was unable to confirm the inscription for J. A. & Martha Vincent. Unless Marshall County translators did so Mr. Fred Hawkins was the last person during 1987 to read & publish the inscription so we are relying on him or even prior to him assuming he was unable to read some of these stones. I do not know who was the last to read the inscriptions above on upright stones, but I doubt it has been with the last 20 years. We as citizens should be outraged to see such destruction to historical cemeteries. The answer is simple. Document in place and then remove all these cemeteries to a common large community cemetery and return this land to the farmer.
