Additional information: Mt. Bethel Methodist Church was
established at this location in 1836. The church continued in existence until
1892 when the congregation split. One group joined the Pleasant Point
(Whitten’s Crossroads) Methodist Church about 2 ½ miles to the north
while the remainder of the congregation moved south about 2 ½ miles and founded
Pleasant Springs (Railroad) Methodist Church. The old log church building stood
for many years and was last used as a barn. A cemetery trust fund for the care
of this cemetery was established in 1986. (Information from Edgar D. Byler III)
To
reach the Whitten’s Chapel Cemetery from Collinwood, Tennessee, travel
Tennessee Highway 13 south for approximately 11 miles. Turn right (west) onto
Wilson Road and travel about .6
miles. There is a Whitten’s Chapel Cemetery sign on the side of the road.
Turn right (north) on a narrow dirt road into the woods and go about 75 yards
to the cemetery.
This cemetery is in a wooded area. The
cemetery has at least 47 graves marked only with fieldstone. One grave is
marked with a large stack of rocks. It has an inscription on one rock but it is
nearly impossible to read. This cemetery has large trees grown up in it. One
stone is leaning due to a tree growing beside it. Mr. C.E. “Jeff”
Whitten, who lives near, told me that there was once a church nearby. It was
built of logs with no windows, only shutters to open or close over the
openings. It decayed away many years ago.
