I have done little with Henderson Co. since my father's stroke a year ago. Today I just discovered that all the cemeteries and other files I uploaded to the school system file server from Late January 2002 to early March 2002 are missing. Perhaps the server crashed and was uploaded from a dated backup -- I just don't know why. If you by chance downloaded a 2002 version of one of the following cemeteries, please email a copy back to me. Cooper's Grove, Duke Memorial, Eubanks, Henderson County Memory Garden, Judson, Kizer (aka Timberlake Grove)(black), Kizer (white), Lewis-Altom, Lindsey, Maple Springs, Moore, Oak Grove (Lexington-Alberton), Oak Grove (Middleburg), Rock Hill, Smith Chapel, Timberlake Grove Church These cemeteries represent many hours of typing and reformatting. I will try to get them retyped soon but with my father's declining health I cannot make any promises. David

David-- here is a little that I have on my laptop with me. I may have more on my desktop puter. Am in Canada till the end of April. I'll see what I can find at home, then. Maybe someone else will be able to fill in more holes in the meantime. KIZER CEMETERY First District Researched by: Randy 6 Kathy Heath Location: To Rear of Joe Tate's home near Wildersville.

By the 1970s most were overgrown and often damaged. In recent years the park has restored the cemeteries. All are now maintained by the park (though maintenance does not necessarily extends to their access roads). During the restoration post and log fences were placed around the boundaries of the cemeteries. Whitewashed concrete blocks replaced fieldstones and probably were placed where sunken spots indicated burials. As a result, all cemeteries are accessible and the number of burials can be estimated. But many of the cemeteries now look alike. Many have lost their individual characters. FULLER CEMETERY Fifth District Researched by: Anita Webb, Alicia Adcox, Johnny Moffitt, and Sammy and Frances Moffitt Location: On land now owned by the Beech River Watershed, which was previously owned by Clem Jowers. It is believed that several graves were once marked by wooden markers, and that Fullers, Timberlakes, and Kizers are buried here. ----------------------------------- KIZER First District Researched by:Sammie Lewis Location: Near Kizer Cemetery at Wildersville. Located here are several sandrocks which are believed to be an old graveyard. ---------------------------------------- LOVELL CEMETERY Sixth District Researched by: Betsy Patterson Location: On Wildersville-Chesterfield Road, 7 miles north of Chesterfield; within Natchez Trace State Park. Unmarked Graves ----------------------------------- ALTOM CEMETERY Sixth District Researched by: Cova Lewis Location: About 1-1/2 miles south of Natchez Trace store near the forks of Brown's Creek Lake. The Maness school house was built directly over several graves in the 1920's. It is believed that the graves are Altom's. --------------------------------------------- http://www.henderson-lea.hc.k12tn.net/donahue/henderson/nomarker.htm#KIZER LEWIS-ALTOM CEMETERY The Lewis-Alton Cemetery is located at the Spring Hill Missionary Baptist Church. I decided to record this cemetery on the spur of the moment when driving past, and I do not exactly remember its location, but it was about eight miles north of darden. I think is was on the west side of Corinth Road just south of the intersection with Nealis Woods Road. The cemetery is well maintained. This cemetery was recorded December 23, 1997. Cova Lewis made an earlier record of this cemetery circa 1974. This record appears in R. H. Harris, ed., Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (Memphis, 1976), Vol. II, pp. 523-524. This earlier work is referred to as "Harris" in the notes below.
