Morton Memorial Cemetery is in the Upper Collins River Valley, in the community of Tarlton, within Grundy County, Tennessee. It is located on TN State Route 56, south of McMinnville & in the valley to the north of Beersheba Springs. On a clear day you can see it in the valley from the Beersheba Springs hotel viewing area. History: Originally named New Union, then referred to as the Tarlton Community Church & Cemetery. In the late 1800's, the New Union Methodist Episcopal Church was formed in Tarlton. It was organized by John Morton, John Dugan, Sarah Dykes, Robert Dykes and Rev. Zebedee Bain. Meetings were held in private homes for some time. In May 1894, John and Adeline Morton donated land for a Church and Graveyard on the banks of the Collins River "for the natural love and appreciation of the Methodist Episcopal Church". It was known to the members thereafter as the Morton Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church & Cemetery but largely still referred to by locals as Tarlton Church & Cemetery.
