Simpson Hill Cemetery, view Oct 2004Located on a farm owned by Jim and Connie Scott of Obion, Tennessee, approximately one and one half acres surrounded by a fence. It was badly overgrown and showed signs of neglect and destruction. Many headstones which may have been there had been covered or destroyed. A clean-up and restoration project was begun in June 2001 with the help of the Obion County Sheriff’s Dept. Thanks to the generous donations from family and friends of those buried there a new chain-link fence was erected in 2002. About 95 percent of the headstones have been reset and cleaned.
