Burials at Knoxville College Cemetery

I found two listings of interments at the former Knoxville College Cemetery, now known as the Freedmen's Mission Historic Cemetery.

From digital copies of The Aurora, the student newspaper of Knoxville College, I found notice that Harry Jarnagan and Alrena Parks, were laid to rest.

The Aurora - June, 1913

The Aurora - January, 1918

This cemetery isn't fully documented and has been neglected for some time.  I have added these two individuals to the Find A Grave cemetery listing.
