These pictures were taken at Arnold Cemetery on Antioch Road, Johnson County, Tennessee on March 26 and April 9, 2002 by John B. Rochelle and he is the owner of all images unless otherwise noted.
Jeffrey L. Carrier visited the Arnold Cemetery on September 9, 1980. The listing that follows is derived from walking and transcribing by John B. Rochelle and is supplemented by the listing by Carrier. We have listed the names by rows. The rows are very short in this steep hillside cemetery, so breaks indicated separate short rows and also indicate gaps within rows.
Information in brackets [sample] was provided by John B. Rochelle unless indicated otherwise.
