KIDDY-PUNCHEON CEMETERY, Puncheon Rd., Puncheon GILES COUNTY TENNESSEE
This map shows the GPS coordinates of the Kiddy-Puncheon Cemetery as GPS N 35.03938, W -86.21338.
Location: Go
southwest on Hwy 11 (Minor Hill Highway) to Minor Hill and turn right on
Puncheon Road and go about 3 miles. Pass Sugar Creek Road and the Puncheon
Church of Christ on your left and then go about 1/4 miles. The cemetery is on
your right upon the hill above you. You must have permission from the gentleman
who owns the house at the second driveway going up the slope. However in wet or
slick weather you cannot climb his driveway as of now. His driveway winds to the
west then bends back east as it climbs the steep road. He has a nice place at
the top and dogs that are part of your greeting. Until your purpose is
established as innocent you will be greeted mildly/coldly by the owner as I was.
This aerial map shows the cemetery at a flat place near the top of the hill. The
cemetery is in the woodland and my instructions from the owner was to follow his
continuing drive east until it dead ended about another 30 yards at an old pink
bath tub used as a plant growing medium. Continue east (straight out from the
driveway) for about 100 yards and the little white cemetery stones can be seen
in the woodland. It is my opinion that the cemetery is actually over to our
right a bit further and slightly south. I say that because of the eastward
direction I traveled to get there from the gentleman's house. The roof of his
house can barely be seen on Google Aerial maps among the trees so the cemetery
should be slightly north, but east from his home about 130 yards.
