HAYES CEMETERY

Henderson County, Tennessee



            This cemetery is located on the Darden-Christian 

Chapel Road about three miles north of Darden. It seems to be 

primarily a family cemetery for the family of James Hays. In 

1992 it was not being maintained although brush had been 

removed recently. David Donahue recorded this cemetery 

February 13, 1991 and rechecked it May 3, 1992. There seem to 

be at least a dozen fieldstones. This cemetery was recorded 

circa 1975 by Mayrene Kennedy. However, in Henderson County, 

Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (R. H. Harris, Memphis, 1976), 

Vol. III, p. 576, she only reports on three of the markers and 

notes "several unmarked graves."
