About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Opened in 1923 as the "Tennessee State Home and Training School for Feeble-Minded Persons," the name was changed to Clover Bottom in the 1940s. The facility closed in 2015. Most residents' families made arrangements for burial elsewhere, but a small on-site cemetery was maintained. An archeological survey in 2012 found a minimum of 185 graves in five rows. Graves that are marked usually only have a surname and initial with no dates due to federal and state privacy laws regarding patient records.
