In 2022, Jane Bagwell donated to the Archives the 'field notes' created for the cemetery book that was published in 1983 by the Stewart County Historical Society. Each cemetery received its own yellow file folder, and each folder contains one or more transcriptions of the cemetery.
The field work was done largely by employees of the Mid-Cumberland Human Resource Agency, of which Jane was the local Director. Transcriptions were typed and proofread by volunteers with the Historical Society. The cemetery book was published in 1983, and had been out-of-print for years, but was recently republished by the Historical Society and is available on Amazon. These folders provide great information that didn't make it into the cemetery book, such as a sketch of the cemetery showing the layout of graves. Digital images of this collection are available on our Google Drive.
