DAVIS CEMETERY

     This is a small family cemetery off the old road from Decaturville
to Scott's Hill. It is indicated on the U.S.G.S. Scotts Hill quadrangle
(1986). The cemetery is very well maintained. However, as the last
burial was 40 years ago, the cemetery is no longer in use. David Donahue
recorded this cemetery October 18, 1990.

     Margarett Alexander recorded this cemetery on February 15, 1976.
Her record appears in "Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records"

Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 162-164. This is referred to
