CEMETERIES of HENDERSON COUNTY


Preslar Cemetery
This is a very old family cemetery located on Preslar Road about a mile west of state highway 22. The cemetery is full. There are many fieldstones. What is most interesting at this cemetery is the small footstone size markers with names. It appears that someone has had name markers made for all the unmarked and fieldstone-marked graves for known individuals. The note "replacement" refers to this type of marker. In 1993 Preslar Cemetery seemed to be receiving occasional but not regularly mowing, and it was difficult to see the small markers in the tall grass. David Donahue recorded this cemetery on May 16, 1993. (Photo by David Donahue May 1993)
