At the Junction of Browns Ferry Road and Gray Road a distance of 318 Yards east
of Gray Road and .363 Miles north of Browns Ferry Road near a newly cut
subdivision road which means this cemetery will be in back of a house before
long.
From Athens go west to French's Mill and turn south (right) on Mooresville Road (Hwy
71). Go all the way to Browns Ferry Road and turn left (east) and go a 1/2 mile
to Gray Road and turn north (left) and go .4 miles and turn into a new
subdivision road yet unnamed. Follow that for 325 yards and the cemetery will be
on the left a few yards out in a field upon a knoll. It may presently be behind
a new house. This may force you to come in via also private property from Gray
Road walking due east the 325 yards if the houses are such that one would have
to cross a yard.
This aerial view shows the cemetery inside a clump of brushy trees north of
Browns-Ferry Road and likewise east of Gray Road. It is inside a privy hedge
thicket under trees which were falling down on the tombs. I cut some of the dead
limbs and other brush, but it will grow right back up if we continue to have wet
summers. Someone recently planted ornamental shrubbery around the premises of
the tree thicket and a stand of pines were growing there also.
