HURT CEMETERY

Chester County



            Hurt Cemetery is an interesting nineteenth 

cemetery near the Jack's Creek Community of Chester County. 

Especially notable is the large number of original carved 

markers from the 1850, a time before carved markers came into 

widespread use in this part of West Tennessee. David Donahue

recorded this cemetery November 20, 1999. The cemetery was 

recorded previously by Lewis P. Jones and appears in his 

Cemeteries of Chester County (White Printing Co., Henderson, 

Tennessee, 1982), pp. 49-50. This is referred to as "Jones" in 

the notes below.
