MAZIES CHAPEL CEMETERY

Henderson County, Tennessee



            This cemetery is located at Mazies Chapel Baptist 

Church northeast of Lexington and just outside the boundary of 

Natchez Trace State Park. The cemetery was established in the 

1920s.



            The cemetery has fallen victim to a fad for grave 

decoration. Many graves are decorated with labor-intensive, 

hard-to-maintain raised beds, raised borders, and decorative 

garden gravel or white sand covers. Sadly, many graves without 

permanent markers are highly decorated.



            This cemetery was recorded April 17, 1998 and was 

checked and updated February 4, 2002.



            Jerry Johnson recorded the cemetery circa 1976. 

His record appears in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery 

Inscriptions (Memphis: R. H. Harris, 1976), pp. 207-208. This
