RILEY CEMETERY, Sullivan Co., TN This cemetery was read by James Cornett and this is what he says about the Cem.
"My neighbors have always referred to this as the "Riley Cemetery" and it is located on the Holston River, just outside of Bluff City. There are a total of about 50 graves in this cemetery, but most are marked with plain fieldstones. Interestingly, some are marked with stalactites. Please feel free to list my name as a contact for people wanting information about this cemetery. Since it is on private property and there is no direct road to it. Please feel free to contact me if you need more information or clarification about anything. I am excited to be able to share this information with other genealogy researchers.
