TAYLOR CEMETERY

Taylor Cemetery, August 2003

            Taylor Cemetery is a very well maintained cemetery on the east side of Campbell Street a few hundred yards south of I-40. The earliest burials here date to the 1860s. Cedars were planted at several of the early graves; three storm-damaged cedars remain. The cemetery has a cast iron fence. Perhaps two dozen spaces for burials remain, mostly along the rear/east fence. There appear to be no unmarked graves; nine graves are unidentified.

            David Donahue recorded Taylor Cemetery August 24, 2003. The late William B. Elam recorded the cemetery circa. Mr. Elam's record appeared in Family Findings, Vol. VI, No. 4, October 1974. This is referred to as "Elam" in notes below. An unattributed circa 1995 record of the cemetery appears in Cemetery Records of Madison County, Tennessee Volume II The Northern Half of County and probably was a simple update of the 1974 Elam record as both records have the same date mistakes. This latter record is referred to as "1995 record" in two notes below.
