On our way home from Florida we stopped in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for lunch. This was my paternal grandmother’s (Kittie Mavis Burnett Edds) hometown. On a whim, we asked the waitress for the large old cemetery’s location. Then we drove over and looked for any ancestors, especially the boys’ great, great grandfather Robert Burnett. We looked for four Murfreesboro family names (Burnett, Rucker, Overall and Allen) and took 50 photos of potential family member headstones. It was a nice break in the driving and an opportunity for the boys to get out of their car seats and climb around the van for exercise. So far, not one of the people we found matched any of the names in our family tree. We’ll have to try another cemetery on our next visit.
