CEMETERIES of CHESTER COUNTY TN
Wheatley Cemetery


This cemetery is located on the John Hall Seeley farm behind Doctor Harrison's. If you'll take the Miflin Road from Henderson, cross all bridges in Forked Deer River bottom, then take the 1st road to the right for several miles. It is rather diffucult to read. Through joint efforts this cemetery now has a four foot chain link fence around it. There are many more graves marked only by sand stone and large cedar stumps. Thomas L. G. and Milly Frances Johnson Wheatley and their son George Washington Wheatley and his wife Nannie Caroline Hardcastle Wheatley graves have cedar stumps marking their graves. The trees were cut and lumber sold in the form of cedar chets made by Elmer Hodges to purchase a fence. This present fence is at least the third fence. Hayse D. Wheatley cared for the cemetery as long as he was able. Elmer Hodges is the son of Demarius & W. J. Hodges.
