SUTTLES CHAPEL CEMETERY
Decatur County, Tennessee

            Suttles Chapel Cemetery is located about a mile 
north of Jeanette on the road from Jeanette to Holladay. It is 
indicated on the U.S.G.S. Sugar Tree quadrangle (1986) south 
of Little Lick Creek. The cemetery dates to the early 
nineteenth century as indicated by the large number of 
fieldstone-marked graves and is much older than the adjacent 
church. There may 200 or more fieldstone-marked and unmarked 
graves. Note that some of the fieldstones have names and dates 
scratched on them. However, at best these can only be read 
under the most favorable light. Suttles Chapel seems to have 
been the primary cemetery for the area before World War I. 
Salem Cemetery (Jeanette Cemetery) largely superceded Suttles 
Chapel as the primary cemetery for the area after World War I. 
However, Suttles Chapel has remained in use.

            David Donahue recorded this cemetery May 5, 1997 
and checked and updated in December 2003. Margarett Alexander 
and Blanche Tuten recorded this cemetery March 28, 1978. Their 
record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records 
published by the Captain Daniel A. Wesson Chapter, United 
Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 
573-577. They noted "at least 175 unmarked graves."
