Drake Cemetery
Johnson Grove Road
Crockett County, TN

Transcribed by Carol Norville Berning

Note:  There is no plaque or sign naming this cemetery.  I named it 
Drake as a result of the name of the first person buried there.  
The cemetery, surrounded by a fence, is located in a cotton field 
behind the home of Olen Webb.  There are several blank tombstones.
