The Freeman Cemetery Association was established in 1978 when Dillard Brooks and his heirs created the organization and deeded the property to it. The FCA meets annually in August in Martin, Tennessee, in order to update members about needed care and to share research about the families, cemetery, and community. Over the years, FCA has been responsible for a new wrought-iron fence, a new Freeman Cemetery name stone, and the addition of missing or replacement of damaged stones, as well as regular upkeep.

We were lucky to find Ken Heron to use the latest technology to capture several views of this historical spot. Past, present, and future come together in these stunning images, created through drone photography, compliments of Heron Photography. In this view, if you look closely, you can see Ken and his crew working the drone from Bethany Church Road just outside the cemetery. Thanks, Ken!

In our bodies we carry the blood of our ancestors and the seeds of the future generations. We are a living conduit to all life. When we contemplate the vastness of the interwoven network that we are tied to, our individual threads of life seem far less fragile. We are strengthened by who we come from and inspired by the those who will follow.

The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.

--Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais
