Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Greenlawn Cemetery in Nashville, Indiana.
This cemetery is located in downtown Nashville, just off of Main Street. I went to high school in Nashville and never even realized this cemetery was here. We visited this cemetery on July 05, 2015. It is nice, well kept cemetery that is still active. The most notable part is the iron fenced plot for the Moberly family. I am not sure if this is a Seward iron fence or not.
