The North Shore Cemetery Association and Historical Society
The North Shore Cemetery Association is made up of former residents of the North Shore of Fontana Lake, and their descendants.  They maintain the cemeteries that still remain on the North Shore, inaccessible by road since the valley was flooded (Lauada Cemetery Association maintains the Lauada cemetery).  The road that was promised by the government to gain access to the North Shore was never completed.  This is the famous "Road to Nowhere."  Their annual reunion takes place in September at the Deep Creek campground within Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  My "Lost Souls" team (DP Kelly Strawinski, Producer Jessie Hagen) and I were invited to film the event last year, where we shot interviews with former residents of the North Shore.
