Townsend Cemetery,
Powell County, Ky
Date Done: Aug 2000, Regina Abrams  
Off of 15 between Slade and Bowen. Take 15 from Bowen going toward Slade and take 
the road just before the gravel place all the way up the mountain and to your right, or stop 
at the gravel pits and ask for directions, they can tell you. These are just the stones I could 
read and the ones that had a stone. It is called now Townsend Cemetery. That is what is 
on the death records.
