The cemetery is no longer in existence as it was destroyed by construction. Dempsey was located where Scottish Inn Motel is situated on SR 6 at I-75. There were two headstones (Andrew J. and M.E. Dempsey) reported by Winnie Smithy Hodges in her 1991 publication, Cemeteries of Hamilton County. Winnie advised they were reportedly transferred to New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery.
