Green Cemetery, Overton County
Contributed by Paula Swallows Stover
There are about 25 unknown burials in this cemetery located on West Tommy Dodson Hwy (Hwy 293) about 3 miles from Hwy 111. It sits atop a hill overlooking Spring Creek (nest to the bridge). Some of the graves are tent graves, several have coffin shaped sandstone over them. Everyone in this cemetery supposedly is related in some way, except for one child who was the daughter of a servant in the Thomas Green home. This property was originally owned by Hubbard Johnson who passed it down to his son, Daniel C. Johnson. The property was owned by Joseph Joe Green when deeded to cemetery. Joe Green lived at the bottom of the hill in what was later known as the Archie Gilliam place. The unknown burials identified here are taken from the family Bible belonging to the old Richard Green.
