NORTHERN CEMETERY

            Northern Cemetery is a well-maintained cemetery off Crooked Creek Road in northwestern Perry County, Tennessee. Four unidentified graves are marked with fieldstones and perhaps an equal number have temporary marker plates without information. Five identical concrete marker blanks (four in a mostly Faulkner row) once had painted information. These are unreadable in 2004; three were at least partially read in the 1990s. Another painted concrete block of a different style was identifiable but almost unreadable in 2004. There are a few more unmarked graves.

            David Donahue recorded Northern Cemetery March 3, 2001 and checked and updated it September 22, 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.
