LESTERS CHAPEL ROAD CEMETERY

            This is a small mid-twentieth-century cemetery on the east side of Lesters Chapel Road 0.5 mile north of Hart's Bridge Road. The cemetery is now a thicket. At least one marker is within 10-12 feet of the road but you cannot see it from a car. There may be about three dozen graves here. Two local residents thought that the last burial may have been about five years ago (about 1998).

            David Donahue recorded this cemetery on February 11, 2004 based on earlier work by Jonathan K. T. Smith. Mr. Smith's 1995 record for this cemetery appears in his Tombstone Inscriptions from Black Cemeteries in Madison County, Tennessee.
