ANDREWS CHAPEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY

            Andrews Chapel United Methodist Church and Cemetery is are located in the Huntersville Community, on Highway 70 west. The cemetery is maintained very well. It has a very large number of American Legion and DAR flag holders. There is a decorative brick and cast-iron fence on the north and east sides, with bronze memorial markers on most brick posts and the north gate. These were recorded and are listed after the markers.

            David Donahue recorded Andrews Chapel Cemetery May 10, 2004. The cemetery also was recorded circa 1991. This earlier record appears in Cemetery Records of Madison County, Tennessee, Volume I The Southern Half of County (Mid-West Tennessee Genealogical Society, 1995, pp. 2-4).
