Dowdy-Hackworth Family Cemetery

Undetermined, there is evidence from older photos of previous repair work and resets having been made.

A brief site visit was made with a descendant at which eyes were laid on the plot as a whole and briefly attempted to enter the thick hedge brush within. The exterior is fenced, but has damage from a tree fall and is mostly obscured while the interior is completely and very uniformly filled with a non thorny brush. The plot itself is perhaps 30’x30 square and sits on a ridge overlooking the old homeplace and is right against the edge of the woods. A blind was built alongside, while a tree stand stood right above it. Plans were laid to assist with a cleanup of plot and markers and most importantly perform a full assessment, however an uncooperative landowner has stalled this. Grave marker observations and all photos currently in hand are made from older photos provided by a descendant whose father previously maintained this plot. There are between 2 and 5 (inconsistency in prior survey) tomb rocks that were observed, the number and relative location of these to the other interred was not observable at the single site visit. No plot map/diagram was produced as the plot was too thickly grown up to properly observe and old photos do not detail the whole plot or markers locations relative to each other. Hopefully an additional visit post cleanup can be had.
