John Waggoner Jr. is a cemetery hunter. He drives a Ford Explorer with two GPS instruments on board, and the vehicle’s four-wheel drive comes in handy in the rain and snow.
A retired wholesale gas distributor, Waggoner lives in Carthage, Tenn. Ten years ago, he started locating old cemeteries around his home, often as a favor to the surviving family members. So far, he has found 630 obscure burial grounds in Smith County, most of them on farms, where families typically buried their dead prior to World War II.
