The thirty-five cemeteries involved in this reservoir were primarily found in
Jackson and Marshall Counties, Alabama. Thirty-three of these occupied sites
that were purchased by T.V.A. and therefore, were involved in the removal
system. Only 250 graves were below pool level in fourteen cemeteries. Each of
these 250 graves were researched and descendants were found to sign a release
form to “remove” or “remain” for that grave.
