Turn left onto Old Eaton Rd. Travel 7.3 miles and turn right onto Wilson Cemetery Rd. The cemetery is approx. 0.2 mile up this gravel lane at the dead end. This is one of the most picturesque settings you will find in rural West Tennessee. The cemetery is surrounded by pastureland. In the older part of the cemetery, there is a row of very large cedar trees-probably set out at a very early stage in the organization of this burial ground. The older part is divided from the current burial area by a shallow ditch. Hickory, oak, tulip poplar and cedar trees grow on the fence line. The cemetery is very well maintained. It is regularly mowed and flower arrangements mark many of the graves in the newer area. COOP Sister Altie b. 01/23/1873 d. 02/12/1921 Wife of Dr. B. F.
