DUNCAN - MELVIN - CARATHERS CEMETERY
Located in Johnson City, TN on Market Place Blvd, between Knob
Creek Rd. and West Oakland Ave., a street that replaces part of Denny
Mill Rd and near Lowes Super Store.

It was cleaned in 1985 by the Dirty Street Fighters, Washington Co.
Sheriff's Dept. George and Margaret Holley kept the cemetery mowed
for 9 years. After which, the Dirty Street Fighters graciously mows
it once a month during the summer months. The developer of the land
purchased it from the Marion Sell heirs and built a treated wood
fence around the cemetery in 1999.
At least a hundred graves are in this cemetery. Many are limestone rocks and some misplaced over the years of neglect.
