PORTER FAMILY CEMETERY, MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

Mapping the Location of the cemetery

Porter Cemetery, Hoover Mason Rd. Mt. Pleasant Tn. the City of Mt Pleasant now owns the land now and is putting a sewer system there near the Cemetery. Mr Fred Hawkins said this about the location in 1987. On a rise west of road that follows Scott Creek. I think this is called Haul Roads on some maps and goes northwest from Porters to connect to Hoover Mason Road north of there a mile or two. This graveyard is located atop of a small knoll left there when the area all around it was mined for phosphate.
