i just posted a 61 page photo album of the brashear family cemetery, sugar grove valley, roane county, tennessee. it joins the photo albums of other roane county cemeteries that i’ve posted on my rootsweb site.
the cemetery is listed in the roane county cemetery books as the brashears/kreis and on the roane cemetery maps as the brashears/kries cemetery. the surname kries is found on the marker for both mary j. kries and dora kries ladd.
here’s an index of the descriptions:
