August 7, Tuesday


This is Macedonia Baptist Church, Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee.


And Jesse and Minnie Maples are buried here.  I did not find their grave markers.  I know Jesse Maples had a government stone because I found the record on Ancestry where it was ordered from Vermont Marble Co.  Still, there were very few stones, maybe a half dozen at most, in this cemetery with death dates prior to 1900.  Since Minnie was buried here in 1847, there should be lots of graves of people who died before 1900.


Heading into Chattanooga.
 

Chattanooga.


Tennessee River at Chattanooga.


Welcome to Georgia, on I 24.  We were in Georgia for about 10 minutes.


Then back to Tennessee.


Tennessee River, Nickajack Lake, sign above, river below.


Tennessee River again, somewhere a hundred miles or so west of Chattanooga we crossed the river again.



Tennessee River.


Farm land.  We went through Lawrence, Giles, Lincoln, Polk and several other counties that were prime farm land.


Corn was burning up.


Cotton and soybeans looked alright.





Welcome to Arkansas.



Almost home.
