From the intersection of Dancyville Eurekaton Rd. & TN-76, in Dancyville, travel east on Dancyville Eurekaton Rd. for 0.2 mi.; turning northeast (left) to continue on Dancyville Eurekaton Rd. for 3.4 mi.; turning south (right) onto Coffee Gap Rd., going 0.9 mi.; turning east (left), [just before it crosses the dam of Freels Lake], going about 2000' east across a private cultivated field to the cemetery, just inside the large wooded area, enclosed within an ancient brick wall.

Original reading by Pat & Ann Mann. Update in 2006 by Lary Walker.

The Miller Family Cemetery was probably constructed in the 1830's by William Miller, Sr. The 33 x 78 foot plot is surrounded by a 6-foot high, 1-foot thick brick wall, with a gateway on the west side. The workmanship of the masons is obvious, since the wall remains in reasonably good repair, after almost 200 years. Grave robbers plundered & desecrated the graves, crypts & tombstones in the early 1900's, leaving no monuments intact or standing.

I found my 4x gr. grandfather's broken crypt top, buried 12" beneath the leaves, dirt & a 8" tree root, in Sept. '04. LW
