"This completes the catalogue of the graves (total) in the Lost Cove Cemetery. Not all of them have gravestones, a number just has field stones but I knew these people personally so this is the actual tally."

One person wrote this after seeing the tombstone of Bonnie Miller: "A headstone for Bonnie Miller, as seen in an old cemetery belonging to a now abandoned mountain community along the TN/NC border. Nobody has lived here for decades, but this hand carved headstone speaks of a father's love for his daughter. Engraved at the very bottom is a verse from the Beatitudes: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
