* Ivey Cemetery *
Completed through November 1, 2003


Ivey Cemetery is a very old cemetery at the end of Ivey Cemetery Road. It is shown near the northwest corner of the Bath Springs quadrangle (1972) near the headwaters of Whites Creek. It retains its fieldstone-marked graves. Most are upright and remain in pairs. Probably only a third or less of all graves here have markers with inscriptions. David Donahue recorded this cemetery December 27, 1991 and checked and updated it November 1, 2003. In 1991 there were several shell-covered graves similar to the old Aaron family graves at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. By 2003 the shells had mostly disintegrated.
Margarett Alexander and Blanche Tuten recorded this cemetery on February 15, 1976. Their record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records published by the Captain Nathaniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 283-285. This is referred to as UDC transcription in the notes below. Alexander and Tuten estimated 100 unmarked graves.
