Smart Cemetery #2
Sumner County, Tennessee, USA
Two (2) of the Smart Family Cemeteries are in the area of Sengtown, north east of Portland, TN.
This particular cemetery is located in the northern section of Sengtown. A couple years prior to 1983, the TN Highway Dept was working on the road that went by the cemetery. While working on the road, the hwy Dept removed a large cedar tree that had stood at the head of the graves. The removal of the tree left a large cavity in the ground, and in leveling up the area the four (4) grave cemetery was destroyed. John Novin Smart and his second wife Mary A.(Wright)Smart were buried here with marble headstones. Also two (2) small graves marked with field stones were in this cemetery and appeared to have been graves for children. This cemetery is located across from a small store that was operated by Johnnie Hines in June of 1983.
Information about the cemetery was provided by Mr. Robert M. Lee in 1983. The information was collected by Hubert Joseph Smart before he passed away in 1987 in Oklahoma. Hubert wrote his findings in a book/autobiography that was never published. Copies of his original manuscripts are now in the Old Tryon Genealogical Society in Forrest City, Rutherford County, NC
