WELKER CEMETERY
From Clarksville take Highway 41-A North (New Providence Blvd.) 1.9 miles to Highway 79 (Dover Road). Turn left, go 7.8 miles to Lylewood Road. Turn left, go 1.4 miles to Kirkland Road. Turn right on Johnnie Road. There is a cow pasture on the corner of Johnnie Road and Kirkland Road. The cemetery is across the cow pasture on a high hill. On private property of Mr. Welker and must have owners permission.

We try to keep families grouped together. If someone's last name is listed, it means they have a separate headstone. If it is not listed, they are sharing a headstone with someone else. Sometimes children are on the same headstone as parents.

Since we do not personally know these families, if we aren't sure of a relationship we list who they are buried next to. Any help matching folks with their relatives will be greatly appreciated.
The information is exactly as it appears on the stones. If you know the person's full name, please let us know.
