It's not easy to find the Mountain View Cemetery in Mountain City. I stopped in the offices of the local newspaper and the person I talked with had never heard of it and could find no one else in the building who had. Yet, they were about one-half mile from it. Someone at the New Visitors Center quickly came up with the location for me. (The Visitor's Center on Highway 321 is a combination museum and resources center and a great place to start on your visit.) The small cemetery is not far from Roderick Butler's home, nestled in a neighborhood. Emeline and Colonel Roderick Butler's monument extends up into the branches of the tree above it. They are surrounded by the graves of family members and have the "mountain view" that the cemetery's name promises. |
