This cemetery was established in the early 1900's as the burial ground for the Emery, Nelson Chapel, and Walnut Grove Communities. Several prominent families are buried here including the Blacks, Browns, Burks, Crawfords, Huddlestons, Mitchells, Randolphs, Ruckers, Wades, and Watkins. This cemetery is a good example of a small rural community burial ground. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
