Blount County, Tennessee, Tombstone Inscriptions

This work provides tombstone records for Blount County, Tennessee, with a full-name index. A brief description of each cemetery, along with its inscriptions are covered in these records. "The WPA Records are, for the most part, carbon copies of the original that was typed on onion skin paper during the Depression. Since these records were typed on poor machines by people who did not type in some cases and at the same time, they were read by persons not always sure of the older handwritten materials, the results are often less than perfect. ... Sometimes there are water stains and burned edges around the paper."
