Hi Barbara and all,
According to a newsletter I recieved from another line in Clay Co:
"Old Zenor is another of the truly pioneer plots of this section....It is a
half mile or more south of Bowling Green and a 1/4 mile west of the north and
south auto road (A clue to the age of the book the info was origionally in?)
In the rear of a broad field on an easterly slope, presumably once an early
trail. There never were more than 75 graves here, now badly overgrown with
wild roses, trumpet vines, rank bedstraw and such like. The markers here
were nearly all sandstone slabs, with their crumblimg and the havoc the
groundhogs have wroght, identification of the graves is more difficult.
Until the recent opening of the new addition, next to the roadway, this place
had not been used for years and had become sadly neglected.
and in the Nov 1995 edition of the Clay County Researcher, she wrote:
"Zenor South or Old Zenor is west of Clearview Cemetery, but it cannot be
seen from the road and it is also up a long rugged road." And she describes
it as "Up through the cow pies we trod."
There are several pages of her adventures searching for other graves.
She does mention that they recorded the names on any gravestones they found.
They also searched in Sloan Cemetery, also near Bowling Green. She has been
ill much of this year, but I will write to her to see if she has any further
info or has made any more trips to Clay County Cemeteries.
I guess I need to go back over the notes and papers I have to see if anything
else might help and will let you all know if I find anything.
TX Pat
