I went there, and although I looked all over I couldn't find Gower Cemetery anywhere! I walked around for ages and finally gave up!

I have directions. I don't know if they are correct. The cemetery is in a pasture behind the house that is behind a Methodist Church. I do have pictures, but I hope to go there late September or early October. I pray I can find it.

I was there 4 years ago. I might go back to Nashville this fall. Attached is a listing of the legible grave stones at the Gower Cemetery in Nashville. See attached aerial photo of the area. the cemetery is in the wedge shaped clearing in an area down the hill from the church (see image "Gower Cemetery)
Ask any local and they will point it out. I have a photo of Nathan and Obedience's grave on another computer if you want a copy.

Thank you! Yes, I would be interested in the picture.

I think I may have gotten near the cemetery area, if I remember correctly. I looked all over and couldn't find it. There was one more area that I couldn't check because someone's dog was loose in the yard and was going to go after me if I got any closer. I think the house was by a church. I didn't have a chance to go back because that was my last stop before I headed home. I'm in New Jersey, so it's a long drive to Tennessee and I haven't had a chance to go back yet.
