4 Graves, 3 inscribed
An unmarked path near the Roaring Fork Historic District in the Great Smoky Mountains leads to the remnants of an old abandoned home. All that remains are a few large logs and a stack of rocks that were once a chimney.
Deeper along the trail up a steep slope sits a small moss-covered plateau with four graves. It is here that you will find the final resting place of Jasper Mellinger, a blacksmith who called the Roaring Fork area home in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
