                    Emery Cemetery

Located  in Opossum Creek off Lee Pike and located on Lot 44 of the 
Emerald Bay subdivision. If you travel into Emerald Bay, 
go straight and take the 1st left on Emerald Point. 
Go to Lot 44 on left. {Graves are 75 steps straight back from lot # sign}.  
The lot has been sold and there are orange flags on the apparent graves 
there. I feel like they may eventually move the graves but do not know 
for certain. George Luttrell built the subdivision and I spoke to his 
secretary who is a friend of mine and she doesn't know what the plans 
are either. A relative on the Penney side contacted me to look it up 
and I found it. I took some photos for him and tracings of the stones. 
(These family graves relate to the Emery/Pendergrass/Harding families 
for sure that I am aware of, but here they are:
