Poe Cemetery


The Poe Cemetery is located about fifteen miles north of Chattanooga on the Dayton Pike. It is about one half mile south of Daisy at back of the Daisy Garage. This cemetery is one of the oldest in the county. It was started about 1795. The first people who were buried there were negro slaves. The land was given by Mr Hasten Poe. The oldest marked grave is seventy six years old, but there are about two hundred unmarked graves, some being very old.
