When the Rhea County Historical and Genealogical Society dedicated the time and money to transcribe the cemeteries, they called on their president Bettye J. Broyles, a retire archaeologist, to supervise the project. Many of the members went out and read the stones, plat the cemeteries and proof read the manuscripts. The plats of each of the larger cemeteries is one of the unique features of this volume and makes the price worth it all. This volume covers the northern three-fourths of the county with 128 cemeteries cataloged here.

Example from this volume:

Leuty Cemetery - The Leuty Cemetery was reported by both the W.P.A. and the T.V.A. In the 1930s, the cemetery was located on the Charles Wassom farm. “A number of stones are broken and torn down.” and the cemetery “has not been well kept. No burials here of late date. Probably unmarked graves.” [from T.V.A. notes]. They gave 216 graves. Ninety-eight removal and six remain agreements were executed.... etc. etc.
