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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Following list copied Jan. 1, 1982 by Carolyn West Strickland. Updated 7\/01\/2002 and 10\/18\/2004 by Billy J.
