A visit to the Central Cemetery ...


We aren't confident of the location of the Central Cemetery, so consider the above location as an estimate.<1>


Introduction ...

Since our focus is on geography, we don't have burial or interment information. Nor do we have any contact information for the Central Cemetery. For information of that nature, we suggest the Find-A-Grave <2> website: The Central Cemetery (FG ID #10364)

Note: We have organized the cemeteries in our Gazetteer based on a problem that we had while working on our own genealogy. Without specifying the cemeteries involved, we found an ancestor that we believed to have been buried in one cemetery was actually buried elsewhere.

We discovered that his burial had been refused at the last moment and the family had scrambled to make new arrangements. By looking at nearby cemeteries, the surrounding communities and in newspapers of the period, we were finally able to locate his burial site.

Should you find yourself in the same situation, we hope that our Gazetteer helps you discover your lost ancestor.

The Location of the Central Cemetery ...

Note: The GPS location that we are using for the Central Cemetery has been estimated.

We are using the following GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) for the Central Cemetery

Lat:   35.5161°   (35° 30' 57")

Lon:   -86.9850°   (-86° 59' 5")

The cemetery is located in Maury County<4>.

As an estimate, the Central Cemetery is located 2 miles [3.2 km]<3> to the south of Culleoka.

The county seat for Maury County is located in Columbia. Columbia lies just to the north northwest of the Central Cemetery .

    Footnotes ...

    <1>An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
    <2>The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com.
    <3>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- ) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point at the Central Cemetery. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.5161, Longitude: -86.9850       In this case, the coordinates for the Central Cemetery have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
