When traveling, I like to take opportunity to find old cemeteries. The Smoky Mountain National Park is full of old cemeteries, with some a little difficult to find or get to. Bales Cemetery is located on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The cemetery is located off the main Roaring Fork loop (toward the end of the loop) on the Baskins Creek Trail.

The Bales family.
The first to be born in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
It's a shame the wife/mom isn't mentioned by name after having that many children.
