Josiah is buried in Mt. Juliet Cemetery, Mt. Juliet Tennessee. He was originally buried in the Hurt Family Cemetery, but he along with everybody else in that cemetery were moved when the State of Tennessee built Percy Priest Dam and the Lake. Elizabeth is buried in Springfield Tennessee at Bethleham Baptist Church Cemetery. I don’t know why they were not buried in the same cemetery, but as you can see, their stones are similar.406
