Crypt of Samuel Billingsley-detail
Of about five mid-19th crypts remaining in the cemetery; this is the only one with a legible engraving. Samuel's brother John (my ancestor) is also reported to have been buried in this cemetery, but I have not found his crypt or stone.

Smyrna Cemetery, Bledsoe County, Tennessee, USA
217 Interments, including 54 relatives such as
- My great, great grandparents Flavius Josephus (Joe) Hutcheson and Narcissa Ann (Cissie) Myers
- Joe Hutcheson's parents (My great, great, great grandparents) John Hutcheson and Nancy Samantha Billingsley
- Nancy Billingsley's parents (My great*4 grandparents) John Billingsley and Martha Blackwood
The cemetery is also known as the "Hutcheson Cemetery". It roughly 10 miles north of Pikeville, Tennessee, and about 3 miles as the crow files (but 12 miles by road) from the Cold Springs community, where many of my Hutcheson relatives lived.
I watched the 2017 full solar solstice in from this cemetery, which is on a hill in the middle of the Sequatchie Valley with views of the mountains of Central Tennessee.
Other Hutchesons and a lot of Kuykendalls are buried about 50 miles to the north in another Smyrna Cemetery, near Cookeville, TN. Cissy Myers' parents are buried about 50 miles to the west in a third Smyrna Cemetery, near Irving College, TN.
