*Note: the following information comes to us from J. A. Owens who has recently (Oct. 2005) corresponded with the great-granddaughter of Alexander Owens. She and her brother maintain the cemetery.
The stone marked "Baby Owens" is Nellie Owens born Aug 5, 1915 died Aug. 5,1915.
The stone marked "Grace Owens, June 8, 1887 July 5, 1925; Wife of Alexander Owens"; This grave has two occupants. Wiley Alexander Owens is buried with mother Grace. No mention of this on the tombstone; born 7-5-1925 died 7-5-1925.
The two unmarked slabs are thought to be slave children but could be Lafayette & Ammon Owens.
