Location: On Sam Walton Rd, beside the Waste Management Co.

Description: Located near the end of Sam Walton Road beside Waste Management Co. The cemetery is very overgrown and in need of restoration. There are no stones left standing. We counted 34 fieldstones indicating graves, but it was very difficult to distinguish between head and foot. *NOTE – we visited the cemetery a few years later and noted that it had been cleared off and some restoration work had been done.

Burial records: 9

Recorder: Photographed and transcribed 18 Apr 2003 by Donna Briggs and Bob Shell, members of the Cemetery Survey Team of Northeast Tennessee.
