To the north East Hill crept down a hillside toward Williams Street, and a Potter's field was set aside in this area. East Hill has had several move ins and move-outs. Stones that are marked before 1857 are the grave markers of people that were moved from other grave sites and reburied at East Hill. The town's first Dr. a Dr. B. F. Zimmerman, and the Dr.'s son, Cyrus King, 2 of Cyrus wives and 1 child was moved to East Hill. Also Sarah Ann Anderson, the daughter of Joseph and Melinda King died in Blountville on May 6,1853 and 25 years later her body was moved to the Anderson lot at East Hill. James O. Wood, the father of 5 prominent Wood brothers were buried at Esillvile ( now Gate City) in 1874 then moved to City Cemetery in 1878. Capt. George Davidson died in March of 1881. He was said to have fired the 1st Confederate gun at the 1st Battle of Manassas and was buried at Esillvile, but a few days after he was buried there his brother had him moved to East Hill. On Jan. 21,1873 Bristol newspaper said the remains of Mr. John T. Wilbar had been reinterred in the town cemetery. The Ed Faidley family took in a run away boy about 15 yrs. old from Ashe County, N.C. in 1896. The boy would give no information about who he was and he was sick when he got to Bristol. One week after he arrived he died. He was buried in the Hines family lot in East Hill. Mrs. Faidley was a Hines and had the boy buried there because she could not bear to see such a young person buried in a Potters field. About a week later the boy's folks showed up looking for him. When they learned he had died they had him exhumed, loaded him into their wagon and hauled him back to the family graveyard in N.C. Another story Mr. Phillips tells is about an event in 1877 with a family named Yelton. The family's little girl died a few months before the family was to move to Missouri and she was buried at East Hill. When it come time for the family to go to Missouri the mother could not bear to leave her daughter behind. The body was exhumed, sealed in a metal casket by H. A. Bickley, loaded into a wagon and taken along.
