KIRKMAN CEMETERY
Transcribed by Cody Blue Miller, March 2003

Kirkman and Sweat Cemetery are very close together. Kirkman is also
called the Simpson Cemetery and the Wolfe Cemetery. They are off the
road about ½ mile and probably hard to find. From the map it is sorta south
of the Ervin Hester Road and sorta east of the Sulphur Springs Road.
Take Hwy 64 West from Selmer 3-4 miles, turn left on Sulphur Spring’s
Road about 2 miles, just past where the Ervin Hester Road intersects.
Kirkman Cemetery is a short distance south of the Sweat Cemetery, atop a
hill and the woods just east of Sulphur Springs’s Rd. Albert Wolfe told me
his family cleaned this cemetery in 2001. Albert said Clark Simpson and
his children are buried here. Jim and Dora Graham Simpson.
Harold Cox documented this cemetery and shows 11 graves. Unmarked
according to Cox are: Charles Monroe Wolfe Mar 23, 1826-June 16, 1891
and his wife, Savory Julian Wolfe, Sept 15, 1831-Dec 4, ca 1874; John H
Wolfe 1860-1890, son of Richard and Mary Eliza Wolfe. Five unmarked
graves in a row beside John. There are several graves marked only with
sandrocks and many graves with no markings at all. Cody Blue Miller also
states the following with no birth or death dates: Baby Autrey, William
Refus Kirkman, George Powell, Rachel Powell, Clark Simpson, Jake
Wolfe, Doris G Simpson, James A Simpson;
Zach Powell who died 1930, Mary Richard 1845-1890, Rebecca Schults
