Completed 2001-2002 Located in Newport, Cocke County, TN just off Edwina Rd. (Highway 73). Turn onto Sweetwater Rd. and take the first road on the left, Arzell Rd. It is on the left, in a curve. There are two chain link fences around the cemetery. Also, unsure of the significance, the ground of this cemetery is very ‘springy’, almost like you sink in.
