“In this section I am only dealing with the graves that were moved to the relocated Brown Cemetery or Rooty Branch Cemetery. I have divided these graves first by lot numbers and then by grave numbers. Lots are laid out with the numbers 1-3-5-7-9 being side by side and 2-4-6-8-10 side by side on the other half of the plot. Most plots contain 10 graves.

“PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE IN TYPE FACE. Regular type is information obtained from the T.V.A. The SCRIPT type is information that I have obtained in my research. I have also added a few of the names of my family tree who have died and are now buried at Rooty Branch Cemetery. Indicated by ***   ~ KBM

  1. Re Epperson graves 1&3-infants. I believe these are my twin bros whose parents were Edward Cecil Epperson (kia wwii) and my mother, Germaine Jean. They were relocated 1942 from Epperson Cemetary. Mary is not the mother. Thx.
