Pickel Cemetery
Located on a small hill beside 1142 Bethel Drive, Bristol, Tennessee. The cemetery is well cared for.
Neighbors of the cemetery indicated that there are two unmarked graves near a stump: twin boys Worley Gene and Dean Pickel, who died ca. 1930-1950 (more information below.) The body in the grave next to Wilma Richards was moved to Florida several years ago.
Photographed and transcribed by Elaine Cantrell, Betty Jane Hylton, Donna Briggs and Robert Shell, members of the Cemetery Survey Team of Northeast Tennessee.

Additional Information
Cemetery neighbors gave the information that Worley Gene and Dean Pickle were buried in the cemetery in unmarked graves. I located a death certificate for Worley Gene Pickle: white, male, twelve years old (19 Apr 1945 – 8 May 1957). He was the son of Corbit Pickle and Mae Pickle. Cause of death, “general debilitation due to Hydrocephalus.” The death certificate indicates that he is buried in the “Clarks Cemetery,” which is located nearby, but there is no stone for him there, either. I was not able to find a death certificate for Dean Pickle. ~DB
