DIAL CEMETERY
Transcribed and submitted by Rick & Joy Tucker
From Trenton, east on Hwy. 104 – turn left on Concord-Cades Rd. Go 1.9 miles- turn left on Hickman Rd. (it’s a dead end). Park on the first rise. Look to your right. There is a fairly extensive inactive cemetery in the wooded area- approx. 1 acre. Very few headstones remain, but you can see rows of indentations all over the woods.
Just as you turn on Hickman Rd., if you look to your left, you will see the imprint of an old roadbed that led to a Primitive Baptist Church. The present gravel road actually lays in the cemetery. Some of the local historians think there are graves on both sides of the gravel road but no markers have been found to the left.
The remaining legible markers are listed below:
