Deaton (College Hill) Cemetery

Located in the Park Community
Crockett Co., TN

A very special thank you to Robert Lee "Bubba" Amerson, Jr., who dug up the tombstones here. All but half of the tombstone for M. J. Deaton, were covered by several inches of mud and leaves. Had it not been for his help, these stones may have remained hidden in the mud forever.

The cemetery is located in the Park Community, on Brumley Rd.
