This small hilltop cemetery lies just north of Interstate 24 near the Georgia-Tennessee line, tucked behind a private residence on the ridge above the Wildwood and Hooker communities. Many of its oldest graves are marked only with plain field stones, and the grounds have long been prone to heavy overgrowth, both hints at the site's age and the fading record of some of those buried here. Roughly 200 burials have been documented.
