B.F. Hart
Longtime Gospel Preacher in North Lincoln and South Marshall Counties, Tennessee. Started the Petersburg Church of Christ, and preached for years for the Cane Creek church. Lived to be 92 years of age, at which time he was reckoned to be the oldest gospel preacher in the brotherhood. His wife Hettie was the daughter of John Wade, early settler and Christian in the church in Lauderdale County, Alabama. She was probably named after Hetty DeSpain Clark, of Texas Restoration Movement fame. Locating The Grave Of B.F. Hart Heading north from Fayetteville, Tennessee, go 13 miles to
the town of Petersburg. Turn right on Railroad St. (Hwy 129E) and go through the
township of Petersburg. On the eastern outskirts of town Hwy. 129 will turn to
the left. Follow the Hwy sign to the left and travel further away from town.
Cross two bridges and turn left immediately past the second bridge. This is Old
Orchard Cemetery Road. (You will see the cemetery). The road bears around to the
right in front of the cemetery. Just before you come to the front gate look to
your left and see the "Hart" family plot. Park at the entrance. Go
into the cemetery and to your left go in eight rows. B.F.'s grave is second in
from the street.
