Contributor Notes:
Located on a hill overlooking the Dry Branch of Mountain Creek, on the west side of Bluff Springs Road, about a mile north of its' intersection with Highland Road, and about 5 miles north of McMinnville. I visited this family cemetery in about 1972, and again in about 1975. It was initially shown to me by Peyton Greene, who married Pauline Sanders, a sister of my grandmother, Nadine Sanders Simpson. Later, I went back with Alva Sanders,
a son of my grandmother's half-brother, Will Sanders. James and Juliann (Durham)Sanders, who are buried here were grandparents to my grandmother, Nadine. James and Elizabeth Durham were the parents of Juliann (Durham) Sanders. The land surrounding the cemetery was originally the farm of James Durham, who left it to his daughter, Juliann at his death.
Although the cemetery was uncared for when I visited in the 1970s, I have been told that it was in the path of a tornado probably in the early 1980s, and subsequent clean up unfortunately destroyed the cemetery. I have not gone back to inspect it myself, and I do not know if there are any tombstones left.
