This is a small cemetery directly on Highway 71 W. at Buck Lane and it sits just out of view. There is no sign or driveway to let you know where it is. It is tucked behind some trees 20 feet from the highway, but not enclosed by a fence. You'll have to park on the Buck Ln somewhere and walk a few hundred feet along the highway to gain access. I was surprised that it was not completely swallowed up by vegetation and in fact has been reasonably cared for over time, perhaps by the road crews. It is a small cemetery dedicated to the Fowler family. Out of the 12 gravesites here, sadly eight of them belong to children two years old and less. Judging by the prominence of the markers, it's likely this was a local family that was probably wealthier than most. As to the significance of the family name, I'll leave that up to someone else to investigate. The photos included in this review add more insight. read more
