Lard Bilbrey Cemetery Reclamation Project
Lard Bilbrey Cemetery in November, 2000 (source unidentified)
The Lard Bilbrey Cemetery listed in the Overton County Roll Call by Norris is located off Spring Creek Road near Rickman, TN. There are about 15 unknowns at this site on the upper part of Spring Creek. The site is in the Netherland area. The cemetery is unfenced and located in a cow pasture. Several trees had grown up among the graves.
The cemetery measures about 50’x105′. Exact dimensions are not clear because of difficulty identifying field stones from stone grave markers for the unknowns.
Efforts were underway [undated] to reclaim the cemetery and prevent further damage. The trees are currently being cut out, and plans are to install a fence around the cemetery, install tombstones for Barbara Belk Bilbrey Williams and Hansford Williams, construct an access road, erect a sign, and other miscellaneous improvements.
Graves include those of Lawrence Lard Bilbrey and wife, and Barbara Belk Bilbrey Williams and Hansford Williams (my [unknown] great-great-grandparents, included in the unknown burials below), and several others as listed by Norris:
