It is badly overgrown and shows signs of neglect and destruction: many headstones which may have been there have been covered or destroyed. Located in the Glass community, it can be reached as follows: Leave US 51 at the Obion exit, proceed west on Glass-Elbridge Road 2.2miles: in the Glass community turn left on Sharps-Ferry road; proceed .5 mile; turn left on Revell Road, proceed .9 mile, passing brick house; turn right at the end of road into the Scott's drive to house at top of hill; walk or drive approximately 150 yards southwest to an old cedar grove where cemetery is located. A clean-up and restoration project was begun in June 2001 with the help of the Obion Co. Sheriff's Dept. Donations are being accepted for the construction of a new fence and re-erecting most of the head stones. Any contributions can be sent to Simpson Hill Cemetery, c/o Billy J. Foster, P.O. Box # 514, Rutherford, Tn.38369.
