This listing starts at the top of the cemetery next to the access drive. The
survey was done down the hill with the higher row numbers closer to Lamb Road.
"Methodist Church and cemetery located about 1 mile east of Chota on the six
mile road to Maryville. Ground for the cemetery given by the Kagley's near
1800." The old church was across the road from the cemetery in what is now a
stand of pines.
Information in ( ) is known from other sources by the submitter.
The description for some of the graves as "Cut Stone" is for a flat stone
which has been squared off but no data was ever inscribed.
This cemetery contains approximately 124 graves with 12 graves marked with
only a "cut stone", 27 Graves with a Fieldstone, and at least 4 unmarked graves.
This data based on a fresh survey of the cemetery with reference back to
earlier surveys.

The locations of two graves listed below are not known for certain. They are
listed in the WPA Survey book and are obviously two of the broken off stones in
Row 6 above. They are grand children of Joseph and Mary Kagley.
Mary Jane Kagley
dau of J.A. and E.L. Kagley
Apr 15, 1879
May 24, 1889
(all data from WPA Survey book)
(from the Blount county marriage records the parents would be Joseph A. Kagley
and Evalinda Keller Kagley)
Susan E. Kagley
dau of J.A. and E.L. Kagley
Dec 15, 1876
Oct 18, 1878
(all data from WPA survey book)
Also a section where local history says that several black men were buried
that died working on the railroad in this area. Several small stones are visible
here but no pattern or any with writing. This area is next to the access
driveway behind the graves for Donna Bookout, Georgia Anthony and below the
large trees.
Note from Edith Little's "Blount County Cemetery Book",
GARDNER, Susannah, Willie D., Earnest R., Annie E. and Ellen are all said to be
buried here--Graves unmarked.
