It is not shown on current maps. I have arbitrarily chosen the name based on the number of graves bearing Harper and Nelms names and the fact that a Crockett cemetery is listed in Obion County. Submitted by Lawrence Nelms &lt;DNelms1011 (at) aol.com&gt; Friday, February 21, 2003<\/p>\n<p>Located in District 7, near Crockett (formerly Crockett Station on the now defunct GM &amp; O RR). The cemetery is located south of the last south to west curve on the Crockett Road. It is surrounded by Wisener Farms farmland and is heavily overgrown with large trees present, from a distance appearing to be a woods lot.
