This is the James & Catherine Douglass family cemetery, listed as "Douglass Cemetery 9-8" in the book, "Sumner County, Tennessee Cemetery Records," by Margaret Cummings Snider and Joan Hollis Yorgason, published in 1981.

Location & Condition:
Adjacent the west side of Old Douglas Lane, about 100 yards south of the intersection of Brazier Lane.
NOTE: Old Douglas Ln is not the same as Douglas Lane. See map. Do not confuse with the Cullen Douglass Family Cemetery on Douglas Lane.

This abandoned cemetery, overgrown and barely visible in June 2010, was newly cleared in April 2012, but legible gravestones remained elusive. The cemetery is bounded by a barbed wire fence. A low rock wall is still visible along the southern boundary, as is some of the old iron fencing & gate near the northwestern boundary. Old grave box surrounds remain.

Thirteen gravestones were legible when this cemetery was surveyed in 1981 by Snider & Yorgason, with another 8 graves, no longer found but included from the listing in Mrs. Acklen's "Bible Records & Tombstone Inscriptions."

Warning: If you go, wear a hat, long sleeves & pants (with rubber bands around your ankles) & socks, and plenty of tick spray. This place is "ground zero" for tiny deer ticks!
