Hildebrand Cemetery
Ocoee, Polk County, Tennessee, USA
The WPA survey of January 23, 1940 states that the cemetery was started by Michael Hildebrand, or perhaps even by Cherokees before white settlers moved into the area. Their report says that although there were possibly 25 to 50 burials, perhaps many Native Americans, only two names are known of people interred there. James Kilian was the architect who became ill and died there, and Joseph Whitsun or Whitson was the stone mason who built the foundation for the Hildebrand house. Joseph had a barely legible marker in 1941 that gave his birth and death years.
GPS readings for this site are 35 08 03 N - 84 41 02 W.
