Transcriber Notes

     I've always remembered this cemetery being in a wooded area. Years ago loggers cut trees in this area and broke some stones. After that I copied the names and dates of the stones that were left. Shrewsburys were one of the older families of Meade County. Nathan & Millie Shrewsbury are the great great great grandparents of my sons. Other family links are Coleman, Rush, Lawson, Faith, Board, Bewley, Johnson, Benham & Powell.
