From Bradford, go down the old 45 highway. Where it meets the bypass at Idlewild, go left. This road crosses railroad tracks and then parallels them. Parallel to the tracks on the left, there is a road you can turn on to. Go down this road past Idlewild Church, Pounds Cemetery, and a sharp curve to the left. After going down this sharp left curve, there is a road on the left at a right curve. Take this road. Down the road on the right is where the AKIN Cemetery was.
This cemetery is no longer in existence. It was on the land owned by G.A. (possibly George A.) AKIN in the late 1800s. Once said to be very large with possible over 30 tombstones, the land is now under cultivation. It is possible that George and his wife are buried here as well as other AKIN family members.
Located on West Main Street in Bradford, Tennessee. This is the largest cemetery within a few miles' radius of Bradford.
From City Hall, go west down Main Street. It will meet the old Hwy. 45. From there, turn right onto old Hwy. 45. Then turn left down West Main Street. The cemetery is down this road on the right. It is very visible from the road and has a large sign near the entrance.
This cemetery is divided into two sections by the road which goes through it. There is a new section and a much older section. The road goes straight into the cemetery and then splits in two. These two roads meet at the back to form a complete loop around the older section. The oldest section of the cemetery is on a hill.
