Bradley Springs Cemetery Tombstone Project  
M. S. Bowlin

May 7, 1887-12 Sept. 1887

Only one piece of this stone is missing and we can read all of the writing.  This is apparently the child of James Amos Bowlin and Alice Green (both buried at Tennessee Community Cemetery) and granddaughter of William Marion Bowlin and Elvira Elizabeth Risinger (also buried at Tennessee Community Cemetery.) The dates seem to fit the following references:
