On Southside Rd. about .45 mi. from Gap Creek Rd. on the right hand side of the road. The cemetery is surrounded by a fence and has a Tennessee historical Marker at the entrance. The Historical marker states that this cemetery was first used in the beginning of the 19th century as a slave graveyard - the soil was so rocky that dynamite was often used to clear the rock for a grave. The historical marker also states that Carter County's last slave - "Aunt Jo" Taylor is also buried here. Josephine Taylor was the slave of Nat Taylor - the father of Bob and Alf Taylor - both governors of Tennessee. There are very many unmarked graves, and many more marked only with rough stone markers. The few graves with headstones are scattered in no particular order.
