John C. McTier, his wife, and all his children are buried in Cassville Cemetery
on a terraced lot immediately southeast of the Confederate Memorial and the
graves of the unknown Confederate soldiers. John and Sallie, Fanny Sue and her
jusband have two large white marble monuments; the six children who died young
have small matching, inscribed markers with initialled footstones. A flat
brass plate for Herbert E. Bruce, 1883-1961 (John's nephew) is located in one
corner of the lot. There are also seven relatively modern small marble markers
without inscriptions, as well as two older stones, one very roughly cut, broken
and badly discolored and the other a thin marble slab broken off almost at
ground level. These last two monuments probably mark the graves of
John's parents, Henry F. McTier and his wife Amanda.
