Glenwood Cemetery is located beside Glenwood Baptist Church in Powell, but not a part of the church. Glenwood Cemetery was created in the mid 1800s, very early in the history of the community. Glenwood Baptist Church was founded 1n 1890 by missionaries from the neighboring Sharon Baptist Church.

To our knowledge, there is no complete record of everyone who is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. When it is known that a person was actually buried in Glenwood but there is no stone, their names (and birth and death dates when known) have been included. In the case of only one date, either the death date has not been recorded on the stone or the person is still living. Any additional information which could be added (such as maiden names or given names), but is not on the stone, has been recorded in the records.

Many people have helped with the perpetual care of Glenwood Cemetery in many ways through the years. Some, but certainly not all, include Mr. Wyatt Bayless, Miss Elma Bishop, Miss Vinnie R. Bishop, Mr. Edward Cox, Mr. Glenn Craig, Mr. Moore, Mrs. Eva Pellaux Mr. Leon Ridings, Mr. George Simmons, and Mrs. Jackie Thompson.

I want to thank Jack Widen Lewis who suggested several years ago that a record of the tombstones should be made. Without that suggestion, it would not have been available to include herein. RWW
