Located on Laurelbrook Cemetery Road off of State Highway 443 in Rhea County, TN.

This is a private cemetery which owned by Laurelbrook Sanitarium & School, Inc. which started about 1945. The town for which address is Dayton, TN about 10 miles away.

Most of those buried there are from Laurelbrook or the Nursing Home. Family members of those whom live or lived at Laurelbrook. It is a boarding academy with 50 bed nursing home. If residents do not have family they are usually buried in cemetery.

I transcribed this cemetery in October 2001.
