Good morning, I am having lunch today with one of the Melton's from Smithville in DeKalb County. I am going to present this question about the cemetery to him and see if he can answer you on it. Also, I think the state of Tennessee would relocate the graves if they moved a known cemetery. Currently, there are three cemeteries just east of Smithville on Hwy 70. The farthest of the three is the Adcock Cemetery. All three are farther east of Smithville than Curtis Road, which may be the location the cemetery was in. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/9/01 6:09:02 PM Pacific Daylight Time, Eehowell@adelphia.net writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] CEMETERY - DEKALB CO., TN > Date: 4/9/01 6:09:02 PM Pacific Daylight Time > From: Eehowell@adelphia.net (Ernest Howell) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > I have been told that the John Curtis Cemetery has been destroyed by the > State of Tennessee for road widening on route 70 just east of Smithville. > > Does any one know, who I could contact to determine if the cemetery was > moved and the tomb stones?

Stan: I am following up to see if Mr. Melton has been successful in obtaining any information on the Curtis Cemetery, just outside of Smithville, TN.
