UPDATE: The Long Cemetery in
Sevier County has been visited
by a researcher. Some of the
stones have and will be cleaned
and photographed. The cemetery is
now on private land.
There are some that appear to be for
the Long's. Many have been broken
and some are partially buried. It
will take time for the work to be
finished, and also when the weather
& time permits.
This is of Dec. 2012
