Paine Cemetery Listing
Giles Co., Tennessee

Driving directions to the Paine Cemetery: Take Route 31S out of Pulaski; 2 miles after crossing the intersection with the Hwy 64 bypass, make a left onto Tarpley Shop Road. Go 5 miles and turn left onto Franklin Hayes Road. At the top of the hill there is a fairly new brick home on the right (property that was once called the old Birdsong place, then Ronny Hayes) which is now occupied by a new family named Clark. The cemetery is in the side yard under a group of trees, surrounded by a fence and flowers (and a group of barking dogs running loose).
