The Family Graveyard




These are photos that I took of the Sowell-Dobbins Family Graveyard. It is located at the farm next door and in the winter can be seen from our farm. It is said that it was also the final resting place for the family servants, but no graves of that sort are marked. However there is a rather large area to the right of the gate that appears to have graves in it. The last family members were buried there in the early 20th century if I am remembering correctly. We have a goal of making a Tate family cemetery here at Laughing Fox. It takes going through some hoops with the local zoning commission, but I think that we will pass muster, just have to get to it!
