Comments

Walker’s Fork Cemetery — 4 Comments

  1. This is a beautiful little white church and a peaceful graveyard on the side if the hill. Thanks for all your work.

  2. Have a lot of family/dexcendants buried at this cemetary. Is this a complete listing ? Do you know who at the church has the books with babtismal records and are they available and or church minutes ?

  3. The transcription was submitted by the Cemetery Survey Team of Northeast Tennessee and is complete as of March 2008. Updates are welcomed and appreciated. You may write to the church to inquire after baptismal records: Walkers Fork Missionary Baptist Church, 6441 Lone Star Road, Kingsport, TN 37660.
