Area photos of the Cemetery

Aerial Map of the Cemetery Location

Johnson-Amis Cemetery is located on the fringes of Culleoka back in a thicket with a rock wall surrounding it. Coming out of Culleoka and after passing the railroad tracks  turn right off of Valley Creek Road onto the new school road and look to your right for the Hackberry thicket and the rock wall. You will not see the rock wall unless is it winter time. The cemetery is in a sad condition now. Mr. Hawkins visited there in 1987 and reported several box tombs were in good shape. Today however there is only four surviving box tomb tops with the others having been smashed by vandals. Folks we know the typical vandal are troubled teen boys out for vengeance and kicks. We need to do a better job of watching over and nurturing these kids. 
I tried to reassemble the broken parts to be able to photo the inscription but had limited success in doing that because there were so many small fragments and missing parts.  I was also unable to clean the cemetery enough to make a clear distinction of the unmarked graves. Mr. Fred Hawkins says he saw at least 2 when he listed the cemetery in the book Maury County Tennessee Cemeteries in 1987 and he mentions some notable early Maury County persons whose remains may be there without markers.  Wayne Austin  11/11/2003
