CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF BEARDEN
CEMETERY
Compiled and contributed by David Donahue
There is a small cemetery behind Christian Church of Bearden, 5902 Kingston Pike, near Northshore Drive. Most burials still marked took place between 1890 and 1920, though the cemetery may be much older. Burials here probably ended because the cemetery was full. There are sunken spots in all the areas where there are no surviving grave markers. Only about one-third of the graves here are marked. This cemetery was recorded March 2, 1989 and checked August 26, 1989.
