LORRAINE CEMETERY. Lorraine Church and Cemetery. The church found in 1927 was first called Fair Haven Baptist Church. O L Meeks gave an acre of land in 1929, provided the church be named Lorraine, after his daughter. He also stipulated there was not to be a cemetery on the land and if the clause was broken the land would revert back to the Meeks family. According to Keith Driskell, the people wanted somewhere to be laid to rest. In 1948 they purchased a spot of land behind the church for $15 from George Dickey for the purpose of laying their loved ones to rest. Directions: Take Hwy 45 S from Selmer and go within a few hundred yards to the Mississippi line. Turn left on Sticine Road, go about 2-3 miles and turn right on Melvin Qualls Road. The Church and cemetery are on the left. From Cemeteries of McNairy County, compiled by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy
