GULLEDGE CEMETERY
This is an old cemetery at the intersection of Lindsey Road and Cedar Hill Road. The cemetery is kept clear of undergrowth but maintenance is limited. David Donahue recorded this cemetery November 29, 1992. It was checked and updated December 2, 2001 and updated October 14, 2002. Two previous records of this cemetery exist. Mrs. Robert A. Lewis recorded the cemetery circa 1975. Her record appears in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (Memphis, R. H. Harris, 1976), Vol. III, p. 527. Margaret Alexander and Blanche Tuten recorded the cemetery on April 8, 1978. Although the cemetery is in Henderson County, their record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records by the Captain Nathaniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 237-238. This is referred to as "UDC transcription" in the notes below.
