MARLIN CEMETERY

            Marlin Cemetery is a small, well-maintained 
cemetery off Expressway Church Road. David Donahue recorded 
this cemetery March 4, 2004 based upon the 1976 record of the 
cemetery. This web page with 2004 information has been created 
by modifying Joy Beth Bartholomew Campbell's record of the 
cemetery. She recorded Marlin Cemetery July 19, 1994 and 
updated it April 17, 1998. This record is referred to as 
Campbell in notes below. Betsy Patterson, Derrick Lewis, 
Sammie Lewis recorded Marlin Cemetery in 1976. Their record 
appears in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions 
(R. H. Harris, Memphis, Tennessee, 1976), Vol. I, p. 18.
