From the Zion Hill Baptist Church
John V. Collins writes: "This tombstone was covered in
moss and algae. I tried to lighten it the best I could, but just
couldn't
get it legible. Although if you look very close you will be able to
make
out a couple of the letters in Rosie's name. I have listed the
engravings
below according to a survey posted on the Crockett Co., TN, web page.
SELPH ROSIE E. 1886 - 1955 TOM 1874 - 19___ "
The photographer writes: "I was standing in the cemetery basically at one of the Selph grave sites when I took the photo of the church. As you can see from this photo, and it doesn't do the church justice, the grounds and church are well kept. The surrounding area is beautiful rolling hill country. The cemetery is directly across the street from the church. Also note on the sign that the church was established in 1892. This was taken standing almost in front of the arched window in the church. Also note on the church sign that the church was established in 1892. On the left of the cemetery photo you will notice a bench. Starting just to the right of this bench and continuing to the right are 3 Selph markers, 5 graves total."
John V. Collins: "The small metal funeral home style marker is for James Selph, born 2/6/1914 and died 8/28/1986. Although it illegible in the photo, I was able to make out the name by looking at an angle and casting a shadow on it. There is no doubt it is for James."
"This photo just gives shows you how the grave sites are laid out. Left to right they are Tom and Rosie E., Nathan and Rosa Lee and then James." The pink object near the stone in the sunlight is an arrangement of flowers that spells out "MOM."
