Burley Shoun Cemetery, FORMERLY known as John S. Shoun Cemetery, is located in Johnson Co., TN, off Hwy 67, approximately 5 miles southwest of Mountain City, near Little Doe. Turn right onto Burley H. Shoun Rd. As you drive past the barns, bear left. Continue to a fork in the road, and take the left fork up the hill to the cemetery. Information and directions given by Paul Shoun, relative of Burley H. and Mildred Shoun.

Another interesting fact about this cemetery location comes from the book, "History Of Johnson County, 1986", #512 Burley And Mildred Shoun, p. 357, by Mildred Morely Shoun. The land on which Burley Shoun lived, was the FIRST land purchased by Leonard Shoun, in 1794, from Solomon Boone, and was paid for in Shillings. Leonard passed this piece of land on to his oldest son, John S. Shoun, it then passed to John's son, Peter Parker Shoun, then to Peter's son, Walter Garfield Shoun, then to Walter's son, Burley Herbert Shoun.
