Historic Bean-Roulston Graveyard near South Pittsburgh, Tennessee
The Bean-Roulston Graveyard lies in a beautiful area known as Sweden’s Cove near South Pittsburgh, Tennessee. Surrounded by a native stone hand-built fence, the setting for this historic resting place could not be any idyllic or peaceful. So it is only fitting that this is the final resting place for veterans from every single American was since the Revolution, and some early Tennessee pioneers. As I walked the grounds, I was continually struck with how perfect a final resting place this was.
