Sumner County Cemetery District Descriptions

The Sumner County cemetery list was reprinted with permission from Sumner County, Tennessee Cemetery Records, compiled by Margaret Cummings Snider and Joan Hollis Yorgason, 1981, pp. 130-132.
The book includes a map of Sumner County, TN with districts and cemetery locations demarked. The map used was the 1968 Map of Sumner County, Tennessee--Road Names. The districts in Sumner County have changed somewhat over time and are slightly different today than they were in 1968.
This page provides the communities located in Districts 1 through 17 from the 1968 map and should give you a general idea of where the cemeteries are located.
