* LAFFERTY CEMETERY *

Lafferty cemetery is indicated on the U.S.G.S. Thurman quadrangle (1972). It is a small cemetery serving several closely related families and is located south of Decaturville on the west side of Dunbar Road about a mile north of Highway 114. A loop gravel drive goes up into the cemetery. There is a sign for the cemetery at the southern drive. The cemetery is well maintained. It is a bit difficult to guess the age of the cemetery. The earliest dates on the readable markers are in the 1870s, but there were several dozen fieldstones here in 1991 [replaced by concrete blocks by 2001], so the cemetery may be a couple of decades older.
David Donahue recorded Lafferty Cemetery December 26, 1991, and updated it December 28, 1996 and April 16, 2001. Margarett Alexander and Blanche Tuten recorded Lafferty Cemetery on February 28, 1976. Their record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records by the Captain Nathaniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 300-302. Reference is made to this earlier record where appropriate.
