    Notes:

    E-mail from Judy Stowe, Descendant -- Directions to Gravesite


    From Hwy 41 you will travel about a mile down the Dry Fork Road.
    You will see Stowe Lane on your left.
    You will turn on to Stowe Lane and follow this road which will turn into a farm road..you will pass some barns and a Stowe Cemetery on your left (keep going), you will then come to a house, it is white, looks like two houses joined together with another house close beside it (in the summer this house is used for the Mexican workers to live in)...you will keep to the right , pass that house and drive across a creek. After you cross the creek you will go on maybe 5 or 6 car lengths and stop. You will then walk across a field on your right and into the woods where the cemetery is located. I call this the Joel T. Stowe Cemetery since he is the oldest person buried there. This is where William Addison Wells is buried: his tombstone reads:
    W. A. Wells
    Born 1862
    March 22 1899 (I have seen his death also listed as in April?)

    Now, lets go back to Hwy 41
    Again you will go down the Dry Fork, as before just under a mile. You will see Johnson Road on your left. You will not go down Johnson Road, this is just a starting point. Directly across the Dry Fork Road from Johnson Road is a field. You will need to cross this field to the woods, at the woods stay to the right and you will see the cemetery shortly. In the last year the woods have been cut down so now the cemetery is right in the edge of the woods. I call this the Davis/Wells Cemetery since the Davis Family were the first to be buried here. (the Davis family are my husbands family). This is where Lelia E. Stowe Wells is buried; Her tombstone reads:
    Lelia E. Stowe
    wife of W. A. Wells
    Jan. 3, 1868
    July 1, 1930
    In loving memory
    of our dear mother

    It has been quite some time since I was in this cemetery...when we were there the Davis family was buried in the woods and the Wells graves were in grass over 6 foot tall. My husband went into the grass to read the stones to me and I couldn't even see him. There were close to 20 graves there and some, I don't know how many had been moved away.
    Hope this is helpful to you...I enjoyed the Devintimber site. It helped me to draw some families together that I already had, but hadn't connected them to each other. I am anxious to look at your site. Have a great afternoon....Judy
