 "The Obion Co Historical Society set out several years to transcribe all of the  county cemeteries. It was to be a four volume set. They only finished two volumes and then quit. I have both volumes and would be happy to do a lookup for you if you will send me the names you are interested in. The books do not list a specific cemetery for the flu epidemic victims so I assume that Obion Co. did like counties here in MO and people buried their dead in whatever cemetery they preferred. I know that in the mid 1800 smallpox epidemic there were, in some places, specific cemeteries set aside just for those victims.
The Obion Co. Historian is Judge Alan Nohsey in Union City TN. He might know if there was a special cemetery set aside for flu victims.  You could probably reach him c/o the Obion Co. Courthouse, Union City, TN 38261.
