GABBARD/TACKETT CEMETERY
Submitted by
W. O. & Betty Gabbard
Located below Travelers Rest, on Little Sturgeon Creek. From HWY 30,
turn down the creek at Travelers Rest. Cross the low water bridge, go about a hundred yards farther down the creek, turn right and go to the top of the hill. The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence at the end of the road up the hill. This cemetery is located on land once owned by Jacob Gabbard Jr., and his wife, Susan/Susanna (Bowman) Gabbard.
Note: These follow rows, and un-named graves are listed in the rows where they are to be found. Note 2: Jo Gabbard Wallace checked these gravestone dates against dates in an old family Bible. Her Bible Dates are in parenthesis. She also supplied full names for initials, & parents of others.
