BURNS HILL CEMETERY
Burns Hill Cemetery, February 2001
Burns Hill Cemetery is a very pretty, quiet cemetery on a ridge between Cane Creek and Lagoon Branch. It is very well maintained but infrequently used in recent years. There are perhaps a dozen graves marked with concrete blocks or fieldstones and perhaps another one dozen unmarked graves.
David Donahue recorded Burns Hill Cemetery October 23, 2001 and checked it October 7, 2004. Mary (Stewart) Bowen and Melissa (Snyder) Bowen recorded the cemetery in the early 1990s. Their record appears in Mary Bowen's Perry County, Tennessee Cemetery Records (Vol. I). This earlier record is referred to as Bowen in the notes below.
