Rock Springs Community Cemetery
Located on Rock Springs Drive near the intersection of Rock Springs Road and Rock Springs Drive in Sullivan County, Tennessee. The cemetery is near Rock Springs United Methodist Church. There are three graves marked by cinderblocks, 20 graves marked by only field stones, two small markers that read “Booher,” four small markers that read “no name” and one illegible stone. There appear to be more graves not marked at all.

Hello I would like to see if you can help me. I am looking for a Cemetery Listing for Alfred D Fritts buired at Rock Spring Cemetery in Tennessee. Thank you John Slade
I am seeking information on Mary A C Depew, she was married to my Great Grandfather George McClellan Reeser, per the E S Depew family bible, they had two children, Guy McClellan Reeser, MD, Sr, and Dessa Reeser Davis. The reason for this inquiry is to set the record straight, the genealogy listing have their mother listed as Alma Wexler, my Great Grandfather’s second wife and mother to Archibald Willard Reeser, MD, Sr, any further information would be very helpful,
