    1. Hooper Cem. on Turkey Creek in Humphreys Co., TN
    2. Linda G. Hayes
    3. Jan, Here is the listing of those buried in the Hooper Cem on Turkey Creek. The Cem is greatly overgrown. It can't be seen from the road. If on foot, you still have to know it's back there to find it. I have been to the Cem. 5 times since 1995. It is in great disrepair - weeds & sapplings growing everywhere, one or two large trees down, fence broken down, no sign. Hope you or someone else recognizes some of these folks. I'm looking for anyone that might be interested in helping re-claim the cem. Just contact me at my addy above.
