chester/cemwheatley.html includes a transcription of the headstones and information available from local people regarding the meaning of various markers, such as tree stumps, in the Wheatley Cemetery in Chester County, TN, as follows:
"This cemetery is located on the John Hall Seeley farm behind Doctor Harrison's. If you'll take the Miflin Road from Henderson, cross all bridges in Forked Deer River bottom, then take the 1st road to the right for several miles. It is rather difficult to read. Through joint efforts this cemetery now has a four-foot chain link fence around it. There are many more graves marked only by sand stone and large cedar stumps. Thomas L. G. and Milly Frances Johnson Wheatley and their son George Washington Wheatley and his wife Nannie Caroline Hardcastle Wheatley graves have cedar stumps marking their graves. The trees were cut and lumber sold in the form of cedar chets made by Elmer Hodges to purchase a fence. This present fence is at least the third fence. Hayse D. Wheatley cared for the cemetery as long as he was able. Elmer Hodges is the son of Demarius & W. J. Hodges. Source: "Family Findings"; Mid-West Tennessee Genealogical Society, Volume XIII, July, 1981, Number 3, by Lucille Wheatley Haynes, page 7), transcribed by, Peggy Thompson."
In May 2009 FindAGrave contributor C.C. went to Henderson TN and located this cemetery. She wrote, "The Wheatley Cemetery is located about 7 miles from Henderson on Rabbit Ranch Road. It is located on land-locked property with no public access. We had actually driven by the area earlier in the day and could not see it from the road. It is about a 1/4 mile back on the Seeley property. It is grown up (and) just looks like another wooded area with a few of the trees blown down into the fenced area. The tombstones were actually in fairly good shape considering their age. It is just a shame there are no Wheatleys in the area to see to the cemetery." She photographed the headstones and posted them.
