LEWIS-ALTOM CEMETERY

Henderson County, Tennessee



            The Lewis-Alton Cemetery is located at the Spring 

Hill Missionary Baptist Church on Corinth Road near its 

intersection with Nealis Woods Road, about 8 miles north of 

Darden. The cemetery is well maintained. David Donahue 

recorded this cemetery December 23, 1997 and checked and 

updated it October 4, 2003. Several older marble markers has 

been cleaned before the visit.



            Cova Lewis made an earlier record of this cemetery 

circa 1974. This record appears in Henderson County, Tennessee 

Cemetery Inscriptions (R. H. Harris, Memphis, 1976), Vol. II, 

pp. 523-524. This earlier work is referred to as "Lewis" in
