     **Listed in 1937 by TVA as being reinterred here from cemetery no. 9.
       There is no marker.

We were told by some people that the graves had been moved here by TVA; other people said that the graves had always been there.

We found 10 to 15 holes with no markers or names. Annie (Summerhill) Cooper, age 81 years, told us that Robert Summerhill (her brother), Millie Summerhill (her grandmother that lived to be 112 years old), R. L. "Bob" Summerhill's first wife, Millie (Jordan) Summerhill, and Ester Lee Hampton and her son are buried here.
