DERRYBERRY CEMETERY
This cemetery is located about four miles north
of Darden on Christian Chapel Road. Judging from the sizes
of the tree stumps, this is a very old cemetery. Although
there are few fieldstones now, this cemetery may be full.
This cemetery was recorded May 2, 1992.
Charles and Brenda Fiddler recorded this cemetery
1976. It appears in R. H. Harris, ed., Henderson County,
Tennessee Cemetery Inscriptions (Memphis, 1976), Vol. III,
pp. 525-526. This earlier record is referred to as "Harris" in
the notes below.
