Prospect Cemetery is the major cemetery in northwestern Decatur County. It is indicated on the U.S.G.S. Holladay quadrangle (1987) at New Prospect Church. In recent years the cemetery also has been called New Prospect. David Donahue recorded this cemetery approximately November 1992 and checked and updated it February 17 and February 19, 2002. Margarett Alexander and Blanche Tuten recorded this cemetery on April 8, 1978. 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. 467-485. This is referred to as UDC transcription in the notes below. Alexander and Tuten noted 20 ummarked graves.
