Beesley Primitive Baptist Church is a historic church near the Blackman community of Murfreesboro, TN. It was built in 1913 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The nominating form specifically lists this tombstone which has a casket shape etched onto it. The building was built to replace an older building which was destroyed by a tornado in 1913. The first building here was built in 1805 and Mr. Beesley was the preacher. There is a cemetery to the left of the building. I found some graves over 150 years old.
