This cemetery is about one mile north of the Manchester Community
and is located on private property. While there is a highway
marker there is no way to drive to the cemetery. There is a deed
to Cowan Family Cemetery by Thomas L. Cowan filed on 12 Jan 1901
for 1 acre of the John Largent Survey A-509 to Willie A. Hodge
filed in Book CH Vol 42 Page 82. There is an annual working by
descendants of those who are buried here and there are many more
unmarked sites than marked. The oldest marked burial is that
of Isaac Satterwhite who died in 1882. This cemetery was surveyed
by Lawrence and Sue Dale on Sunday 19 January 1997. We visited
the site again on 6 Dec 2003 and took the GPS readings."
