TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY CEMETERY RELOCATION AT THE SOUTH HOLSTON RESERVOIR

The Tennessee Valley Authority started the relocation of graves from different cemeteries in the Holston Valley in the 1930’s . The graves had to be removed as the filling of the reservoir would flood or isolate many of these cemeteries. Many graves were left where they were, and that area flooded. The project was put on hold in 1942 and resumed in 1947.

Twenty Cemeteries were used for the REINTERRMENT of the bodies removed from cemeteries affected by the filling of the Holston Reservoir.

THE R1 TO R20 NUMBERS ARE NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO THESE CEMETERIES BY THE TVA

Cemeteries which were flooded by the filling of the Reservoir.

Beard, Boling, Booher, Brown, Clayman, Epperson, Friendship, Gross, Holston Valley, Old Slave, Osborne, Phillips, Slave.

Cemeteries which were isolated by the filling of the Reservoir.

Armstrong, Brown, Davenport, Gentry, Gross, Harless, Odom, River Bluff, Shoun, South, Trivett.

Cemeteries that will be served by relocated roads after the filling of the Reservoir.

Brown, Gross, Odom.
