Elam-Snell Cemetery is the final resting place of Dr. Thomas Jefferson Elam and his family. Dr. Elam served as a physician during the Civil War. In 1880 he opened Elam's Mill on the Stones River. Dr. Elam lived on his farm off Manchester Highway, operating the mill and raising race horses. This cemetery is a very good example of a small family cemetery with exquisite stylized monuments. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
