Cemetery is located on outskirts of golf course just to right of property.
This cemetery was established in 1846 or earlier as community burial ground. Earliest stone dated 1846. There are 36 marked graves and about 31 unmarked graves. Originally it was named for Rolling Hills Church. Now it is also associated with Sandy Brae Golf Course that was built about 30 years ago, and sometimes called the Sandy Brae Cemetery.
I walked this cemetery in Jun 2006 & Oct 2007. Info taken from pictures I took and compared with Cemeteries of Roane County published by Roane County Historical Society and also WPA reading of Jul 05, 1940.- Reggie Watson
