Holt Cemetery

Resurveyed and submitted by Thomas A. Holt, 1989.

Location: About 1000 feet north of BM 753 NASH, and 1000 feet south of the intersection of Cypress Creek Road and Hayes Branch Road. The cemetery is approximately 1500 west of the Natchez Trace Parkway.

This cemetery was originally surveyed in 1971 and was published in Wayne County, Tennessee Cemetery And Dead Records as cemetery #114, page 199. When the cemetery was initially surveyed, the visible area of the cemetery consisted of a small plot of land surrounded by a wire fence. Since that time Thomas A. Holt has restored the cemetery to its original boundaries, installed a concrete and block wall around the cemetery, and located two additional tombstones. The first stone located in the process of restoring the cemetery was that of Hetty C. Stribling; the other was that of Sarah Cate Berry Pigg, better known as “Granny” Pigg.
