Listed as "Hudgins Cemetery" on USGS topo map and in the Sumner County Cemeteries book (pub 1981). A newly-erected stone entry marker names it the "Sanders Burial Ground." Per local tradition, the cemetery dates to the US Civil War when confederate soldiers, ambushed along the Pole Hill Road, were buried here. Many more graves than markers are said to exist in the approximately 1-acre, fenced cemetery and on adjacent property. Several temporary funeral home markers, misplaced from the graves they once marked, were found stacked at the front of the cemetery in 2017. Sanders headstones are at the back of the cemetery.
