VISITING THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF EARLY GRAND OLE OPRY STAR ROD BRASFIELD.
Rodney Leon Brasfield was born in Smithville, Mississippi on August 22, 1910. He began performing in touring tent shows during the late 1920’s with his older brother. These tent shows took him to places all across the south including Nashville where he met The Solemn Ole Judge, George D. Hay.
Judge Hay was so impressed with Rod Talent that he invited him to Join the Grand Ole Opry in 1944. Rod’s character of a hapless country bumpkin known for wearing a baggy suit, battered hat and a elongated walk, quickly became an Opry favorite. He could make his audience laugh just by walking out on stage.
In 1948 Rod was paired with Cousin Minne Pearl. The two developed an act known for it’s “double C...

    Charlie Daniel was true American who loved his country. He was also a strong Christian who loved his Lord. I have a close friend who went to church with him. I encourage you to get out your bible and read the scripture that is on his grave (Psalm 91:1-8). He may have tangled with the Devil in Georgia but today he is embraced in the arms of Jesus, his Lord.

    I have a huge Oak framed mirror which purportedly came from the Lindsey estate after his mother died. George also ran for Walker county Sheriff at one point, but it was mostly a stunt. His mother was quite a character from all reports. I don't think he ever helped her much, she lived in kinda poor conditions it is rumored.
