Hollywood Cemetery was the dominant cemetery in Jackson from about 1890 to about 1960 and is still being used for burials. The markers have never been recorded. In 1988 the Mid-West Tennessee Genealogical Society and Jackson-Madison County Homecoming '86 Steering Committee published Records of Hollywood Cemetery, which is available in the Tennessee Room of the Jackson-Madison County Library. This volume is based on records in the cemetery office and covers burials through about 1985. An update through 2003 has been compiled. To get this cemetery online, it would be necessary to record the markers, type the information, and check the typed information against the markers (estimated 1,600-1,800 person-hours).
