Pinhook - Lutts Cemetery This is an updated enumeration prepared by the Lutts Extension Homemakers Club in 1987. Location: The cemetery is approximately 3/4 mile west of Lutts, high upon a hill overlooking the Weatherford Creek valley. The cemetery is on Tennessee Highway 203 and is to the south, boardering the highway. This cemetery had its beginning in February 1877. The spot was selected and donated for a cemetery by James Hiram STRICKLIN when one of his sons died. James W. "Jim" STRICKLIN, son of James Hiram and Nancy Caroline DANIEL STRICKLIN was the first person buried in the old part. Jim was born April 26, 1857 and died January 16, 1877. About 1947, the Lutts Community Club bought land off the same tract, at the time owned by Daniel WHITAKER, for cemetery use. This has been referred to as the "new part". The first person buried in this section was John Marshall SINCALIR who was buried January 3, 1952. In 1987, two new additions were added. The Franks addition came off the same tract of land as the rest of the cemetery. The Robbins addition came from the Joe ROBBINS farm just across the road from the present cemetery. |
