BURNEY-NEWELL
CEMETERY
From Gary Matthews take Highway 48/13 2.6 miles to Highway 149. Turn right go 5.8 miles to Jarman Hollow Road. Turn left and go about 2.4 miles to the intersection. Turn right, go past the Canaan Baptist Church. Go 1 mile to the dead end, make a sharp left, go up the hill. Cemetery is at the top.
We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes
children are on the same headstone as parents.
Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.
