GRIFFIN'S CHAPEL METHODIST CEMETERY

GIBSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE

 

Located on Griffin Chapel Road just outside of western Bradford.

 

Just past Bestway Store, heading west, the road forks in two.  Take the right fork (Griffin Chapel Road).  At the end of this fork, the road meets the new Hwy. 45 Bypass.  Cross the bypass straight across to the other half of Griffin Chapel Road.  When you get to the other side of the bypass and start on Griffin Chapel Road again, it is 1.9 miles down the road on the left side of the road.

I documented this cemetery row by row, starting at the north end of each row, starting in the west side of the cemetery.  I documented the rows north to south, and then moved to the north end of the next row and repeated.
