Jonas Phillips Cemetery




The sign at the road is actually a tombstone itself. It was barely visible when I was there.

Interesting coloring on the stone of Micheal Phillips.

I love the way this stone looks curved.

Jonas Phillips Cemetery is rather large with nearly 100 interments

It almost looks like the person who inscribed this stone was unsure how to spell Billy and left enough room for another L.

 





 The cemetery is located off Hwy. 32 in Cocke County near Pine Hill Way about 3/4 of a mile from the Tennessee/North Carolina state line.

Up to this point in my cemetery travels, this was the first time I felt uneasy. When I was in the far back of the cemetery, I had a strange feeling come over me. No reason, just odd.
