Sarepta Cemetery and more...




Sarepta Methodist Church also has a cemetery on its grounds. I loved the inscription on the tombstone pictured on the top.

MOTHER
NANNIE NOBLE
WIFE OF
ITALY NESMITH
REST MOTHER,
REST IN QUIET SLEEP,
WHILE FRIENDS IN SORROW
O'ER THEE WEEP

Notice anything else interesting about the tombstone? No dates. I don't see that too often.

Two other interesting tombstones in the cemetery are just large rocks placed at the head and foot of the graves. One of the larger headstones is pictured in the second photo. That is so intriguing. I wonder who they were? God knows, I bet.

The other two photos are of a little structure out in the woods along the dead-end road that leads to Sarepta Methodist Church. It is made of notched logs. No nails were used in its construction as far as I could see, except to put on the hinges. You just don't see this too much anymore. Mother Nature will soon reclaim these trees as her own once again.

Bear with me! We'll make it to the waterfall tomorrow!

  1. Marty, in doing genealogy research, I found some records where a lady's age changed from census record to census record as did her mother's and her grandmother's. UNLESS her grandfather was there in which case it was all accurate. LOL!
