Marshall Family Cemetery

Gunpowder Road, Boone County, Kentucky

From Florence, take I-75 south. Take the Mt. Zion Road exit and turn right onto Mt. Zion Road. At the first stop sign, you will turn left onto Gunpowder Road. From the Library map, it appears that this cemetery is at the end of the road.

Pictures were taken in 2002 and contributed by
Michael Marshall

The present owners of the land where the cemetery is on is Cindy and Art
McCoy (from Indiana).  The cemetery was on the hill in back of the original house. A view of the cemetery on Art and Cindy McCoy's property looking East overlooking Gunpowder Creek.  From left and behind from where I took this photo was a sinkhole which was used for rubbish.

In the cemetery itself are several depressions (graves). Tombstones have
been moved and reversed against the Cedar trees to protect the stones. 
Wear boots and long pants to avoid poison ivy.

This was the Andrew Jackson that I could not place. The stone is really hard to read. Could have been someone hired to work

Napoleon MARSHALL

Ann Heyler MARSHALL

Napoleon and Ann (Heyler) Marshall are also buried in this cemetery but there are no stones. I was reading the newspaper 1900 and 1905 obits in the Recorder and they indicate that both were buried in the family plot (living in Frogtown area). The 1870/1880 census show them in Big Bone. When Napoleon's mother Eveline died in 1882, they moved from Big Bone to the farms on Gunpowder Creek and lived next to his brother Alexander.
