Thank you to James Woodley, who compiled this inventory and contributed it for use on this web site,
and to David & Judi Cloninger, for providing the photos.

Directions to cemetery:
Palestine Cemetery was established circa 1840 and is a very wellkept cemetery with a fine
Cemetery Association. Extremely friendly and helpful folks.

From Dyersburg city limits travel 1.7 miles South on Highway 51 South to the light at Four Points. Turn left onto Highway 210 and travel less than .1 of a mile turning right on Highway 210 South. Go 2.5 miles on Highway 210 (just past a long bridge) and turn left onto South Fork /Bruceville Road (no sign but it will be up over a railroad track). Travel 2.7 miles and turn right onto Palestine Cemetery Road. Travel .3 of a mile on
Palestine Cemtery which dead ends at the cemetery.

Please note that when it says No Marker in the remarks column, James obtained this information from
J. W. Curry and Son Funeral Home records.
