This small, neglected cemetery is the burial site of James Matlock Kitchens and wife Sallie Brown, son Christopher Columbus Kitchens and wife Sarah Ann Taylor, sister-in-law Frances Brown and husband John Daniel Randolph, and several other family members. It is not to be confused with the other small Kitchens Cemetery alongside U.S. 78 some three miles away.

When I visited in 2003, the cemetery was in a deplorable state and there was no trace to be found of the markers of James Matlock Kitchens and his immediate family. I am told that the cemetery has since been fenced in, and efforts have been made to identify and re-mark the Kitchens graves.

Directions: From downtown Jasper, drive west on 21st Street for one mile until it turns into Holly Grove Road. Continue on Holly Grove Road for one mile and pass under U.S. 78. Immediately after passing U.S. 78, turn left on Kilgore Lane. Go down the swag and climb the small rise to the last mobile home that sits on the high bank on the right side of the road. Cemetery is on bank behind the mobile home. (These directions given by Gene Gravlee of ALWALKER mailing list, January 2003.)
