Cemeteries update Volunteers catalog old cemeteries
Metro's plans to add turn lanes at the intersection of Edmondson Pike and Cloverland Drive were interrupted recently when the 19th-century child's grave was found on the property.
Remnants of an old graveyard fence and the child's grave marker were discovered amidst overgrown vines and trees after Metro purchased an option on the property, according to Metro attorney Philip Baltz.
