To reach cemetery take Highway 30 West from Dayton, TN. Go approx 5 miles to Highway 443 (Ogden Road) and turn" left. Go approx 6 miles. Turn onto Laurelbrook Cemetery Road. Go to top of hill. Cemetery on right.

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.

Some dates are not listed on a tombstone but were obtained from records of nursing home or personal knowledge. I have much family buried here. This cemetery is in fair condition.

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 Oct 2001, updated Feb 2009. I have jpg files of all current grave markers a few of these are difficult to read from picture.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
