BELL CEMETERY

The Bell Cemetery is located just a stones throw from the Harris Grocery site. Isaac Bell and many of his descendants are resting here. Isaac is said to be wearing his War of 1812 Uniform. Many other prominent Shinbrier names can be found here.

As the song says, " We will all be together when we meet beneath the green, green grass of home"
