There are five or six graves marked by fieldstones. The massive rock wall around this graveyard is well preserved and has served to keep the cattle out over the years. The cemetery is difficult to reach since there are two gates, normally kept padlocked, on the road from the highway. I was fortunate to find one of the farm workers who let me through the gates. [Fred Lee Hawkins, 1988.]

The transcription of the Estes Cemetery was mostly from Maury County Tennessee Cemeteries, by Fred Lee Hawkins, Jr., page 573, Mr Fred visited there 8 Mar 1988. Also found in the book They Passed This Way published in about 1967 by Gordon & Lightfoot. Page A-91.
This cemetery was photographed by John R. Benderman in Nov 2005 and compiled again 9 Aug 2009 by Judy Benderman Forgos of Ohio (She and John Benderman are relatives of some of those that are interred in this cemetery) from the photos and Mr. Fred Lee Hawkin's survey. Added here by C. Wayne Austin including mapping to locate the cemetery for future reporting on its status 12 Aug 2009.
