Cemeteries of Polk County

The majority of the information concerning the early graves and history of each cemetery has been obtained from a bound book placed of record in the Polk County Court House.  The credit to this work is given to N.D. Kannady and L. H. Daniel (1984) and contributors to this bound volume.  Cemeteries without links were not covered in this volume.  This area of the VisionMena.com site is under construction and is being completed as time allows to devote to this project.

You can purchase this bound volume and other volumes from the Polk County Genealogical Society.

We have entered the Latitude and Longitude Information from the Government Geographical Survey where available.  Those eateries minus this information on not listed on the government survey.  The government maps are not to be confused with town locations; however, in many instances you will find that the government map does coordinate to the nearby town where the cemetery is located.  Please click on the Cemetery Name in the left column and you will in most instances find driving directions to the cemeteries.  Some cemeteries are on private land.  Please, adhere to the owner's wishes in the case of viewing these graves.

The Historical marker tells of the first burial here, a young girl, who's family was sick, went into the wood's on a cold winter nite on Rich Mountain to gather firewood, she had to climb a tree to get away from a pack of wolves, and was found the next morning in the tree frozen to death.
