In my quest to find heretofore undiscovered headstones carved by William Edmondson, I also spent a great deal of time in Briarville. Like Lake Providence, Briarville was a Black village in rural Davidson County that is now mostly forgotten. With the exception of Briarville Road and the two cemeteries, I haven’t found anything in the area that distinguishes the area from larger Madison anymore. ....

Long story short, William Edmondson was one of the most important artists to come out of Nashville. Born in 1876 to sharecroppers on the Compton farm (which was at the corner of Hillsboro and Harding), Edmondson and his mother and many of his brothers and sisters moved to Edgehill, where William took up sculpting. He was the first African American artist to have a solo show at MoMA. And he made a lot of headstones, many of which are still standing in Nashville and the surrounding area’s African American cemeteries. ....

Endangered places: French Benevolent Society Tomb in Lafayette Cemetery No. 2


Sue Strachan, Uptown Messenger
A tree is growing from the French Benevolent Society tomb in Lafayette Cemetery No. 2.
The cemetery off of Washington Avenue in Central City is, to be expected, quiet on a Monday morning. Tombs in various states of care are engraved with names reflecting the teeming diversity of New Orleans when the cemetery was established in 1850: Oberschmidt, Armato, Battiste, Tujague, Noble.
Other tombs, the large multi-level ones, are often benevolent associations: Deutscheler Hendwerker Verein (German Craftsmen Association, 1868), Societé de Bienfaisance de Boucher (French Butchers Society, 1867), Young Men Olympia Benevolent Association, 1883, and Société Française de Bienfaisance et d’Assistance Mutuelle (French Benevolent Society, 1850). ....
