Revolutionary War Heroine’s Grave Being Restored
- Details
- By Julia Barnes
There is a small hill off Serena Circle near Broadway Lake in Anderson County which holds the remainder of the old Broadaway Presbyterian Church cemetery. Only two markers remain, those of Mary Smith and John George. The cemetery is marked on the 1877 map of Anderson Co. Residents of Serena Circle remember that in the 1960’s and 1970’s, there were several field stones that were removed from the location when houses were built on the property. Mrs. Smith’s marker is a crudely carven sentence - - - “ Here lies the body of Mary Smith, heroine of American Revolutionary, who died August 17th 1829, age 92 . The markers are 1820's, and hand carved from soapstone, probably hewn from a local quarry and engraved by a local tombstone carver of the period. They are beautiful works of carving, and approximately four inches thick and five feet tall (about two feet of each were placed underground to keep them upright). Mr. Barnes, Dr. Drake, & the ladies of the Hudson Berry DAR plan to put a period-appropriate wooden picket fence around them to protect the site from animals and (hopefully) vandals. Mary Smith died in 1826 at 92 years of age! The markers are in remarkable condition for their age.
