    3. Since you will be in Sardis I will write directions beginning there. Drive north on TN 201 toward Scotts Hill. After about two miles you will reach the intersection with Presley Ridge Road. Turn right on Presley Ridge Road and drive about a mile to Prospect Cemetery. Return to TN 201. Turn right or north on 201, continuing toward Scotts Hill. After about 2 miles look for Grice Road on the left. Turn left on Grice Road. In 1995 there was a sign marking the cemetery access drive. The sign was left over from the Austin Reunion in 1964. The Dodd cemeteries will not be easy to find. The one listed on p. 545 of the cemetery book may be on Taylor Town Road, possible in the woods in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Taylortown Road and Poplar Springs School Road. I recorded a single large marker here (I think it was here), back in 2001 but it is one of the cemeteries lost in the server crash. You will have to get a Henderson County map to find the intersection of Poplar Springs School Road and Taylortown Road. There is no way to describe how to get there. The Dodd Cemetery on page 26 of the cemetery book I haven't a clue. It is not in the park. What you can do is go by the Everett Horn Library in Lexington on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday morning and ask Linda in the Tennessee Room to show you the county road map with cemeteries identified. It might have the Dodd cemeteries identified. David
