Buttram Methodist Church

We made a trip up to McMinn County this past week and stopped by the Buttram Methodist Church and Cemetery. The fall colors were beautiful. 

We were even able to get a picture of  the inside of the church through the window.  My Great Great Grandparents Jacob and Annabelle Ziegler are buried in the cemetery here. They lived less than a mile from this little church.

We didn't have the time to go through the cemetery but I did walk up by the gate to see if it was locked and all the cows in the field next to the cemetery started to stand up. Guess they thought I was there to feed them.

Find a Grave

Above are a couple of  pictures of the  view across the Edgemon Cemetery. I had been to this cemetery many years ago but had no clue how to find the cemetery. Find a Grave is a wonderful way to find where your ancestors are buried and also to find directions to the cemetery. I have found many ancestors graves and in some cases even found pictures of their tombstones, thanks to the many people who take pictures and post them a Find a Grave.
