Knoxville TN church location

[Silverhawk]

I've come across a death notice in the Knoxville Sentinel stating that the funeral is taking place at "Mountain Home Church" with burial in the churchyard. Where is this church? I've Googled it, but unusually am getting no references for any churches with that name in the area, present or past. The cemetery database at Findagrave isn't helping either. There's nothing with that name in Knox County, the nearest seems to be in Campbell County, but it only has two graves recorded in it, both in the last three years, so I'm dubious. The newspaper was from 1917. Anyone have any ideas?

What denomination is it associated with?

It might be easier to find via the denomination.

Unfortunately it doesn't say.

Mount Herman Methodist Church Cemetery appears to be what you are looking for.

Often churches may be referred to locally by a different name than what their name actually is, or over time the name might have changed.

I ran a search in the Knoxville News-Sentinel obituaries for "Mountain Home Church" from 1900-1950, and then searched the names and dates given in a search on Find A Grave. They all came back as being buried in Mount Herman Methodist Church Cemetery.

Below are just a few of the corresponding matches I got for verification of thought process.

Thanks for that. I'd thought of checking the newspapers for other "Mountain Home" burials and cross-referencing, but I only searched a year or two either side of 1917 and didn't find anything that helped. Looks like I needed to expand the range. Odd that the different name isn't mentioned anywhere, though it might be as you say a purely local name. Thanks again
