Genealogy and History

Information submitted by: Gene Callaway, 9321 Mulkins Lane, Germantown, TN 38139, email address: call41@comcast.net. Gene's recently had Keith James of the Camp Ground community to begin cleaning this small cemetery. (about 12 graves). and states that C. M. Callaway was my great grandfather.

The cemetery is located on the north side of the Camp Ground Road between Highway 41 and Highway 15. Going south on Hwy. 15 turn left on Camp Ground Road (before you get to the Algoma Road). Go about a mile or so, it will be on your left.
