This cemetery is located on Heard Ridge.
Contributor’s Notes: I typed Old Bethel Cemetery in June of 2001. I hope there are no mistakes but I can’t say that for certain. We are all human and are not perfect. I hope someone will be able to use this material to research their ancestors. I wish to thank Paul Taylor of Overton County for his help in this project. We all owe Paul a big thanks for the way he has taken care of this cemetery and the many improvements he has made over the years. Without him, my ancestor Joseph B Conner, would not have a military marker that he now has.
