Tombstone Tuesday - Big Spring Church Cemetery, Claiborne Co., TN

This is pretty much all that's left of the Big Spring Church Cemetery, a few small headstones here and there.  The meeting house is still standing after all these years.  Over in one corner you find this large stone. I find it interesting as the stone clearly states, the memorial is for "...Pioneers buried in the Reuben Floyd Stone Family Cemetery".   Many Hurst and Breeding family members are buried in Big Spring Cemetery and they intermarried with the Stone family.   Below is the old Big Spring Church meeting house. From the air conditioner in the window it would suggest that perhaps the church is still in use today.
