SARDIS RIDGE CEMETERY

            Sardis Ridge Cemetery is located about 5 miles east of Parsons on the old road between Parsons and Perryville, opposite Sardis Ridge Baptist Church. The cemetery is indicated on the U.S.G.S. Jeanette quadrangle (1986). The cemetery is maintained. About three dozen graves are marked with by thin blank concrete markers or remnants of markers. There is ground evidence of other possible unmarked graves. Several late 19th century markers read in 1991 are missing or unreadable in 2003.

              David Donahue recorded this cemetery May 18 and 19, 1991; update it November 29, 1996; and checked and updated it February 3, 2002. An earlier record of this cemetery was made by Doris Scott and Blanche Tuten and is dated April 28, 1978. Their record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records published by the Captain Daniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 518-527. They note 48 "unmarked" graves. This earlier work is referred to as UDC transcription in the notes below.
