Rives, Tennessee

Read and recorded by George “Jerry” Palmer, June 19, 2000.

Has a short entrance gravel road off Max Osborne Road leading E from US Hwy 45W. Entrance is a few hundred feet from the intersection of Hwy 45W and Max Osborne R. Intersection is S of Union City about 3 or 4 miles and about 1/2 mile before reaching State Route 216 crossing Hwy 45W. Cemetery sits to south back off the Max Osborne Road up on the side of a high hill & is clearly visible from road and reasonably well kept. I estimate 100-200 grave sites in the cemetery. It is in use today. Lynn Laster

Note from “Jerry” – I am not responsible for errors, omissions or any other mistakes. I am only human, and some of the stones were almost impossible to read. You might also note that some of the names on the stones that I have submitted do not have a death date, meaning the person was still alive when the stone was set.
