From Scott Hensley: Four hidden graves at Kapark. My daughter Glynice is 4'10" tall for reference. The text blocks are what I could read on
the stones. I removed moss off the stones they had not been disturbed for a number of years. Who this shaw
family is I do not know.
View pictures of grave markers in Capark Cemetery Album at bottom of page.
I typed up the cemetery info from pictures, notes, Bible records, and pension records provided by John Pruitt and Scott Hensley. If you would like to provide additional information, pictures of individuals, obituaries or other info to be included here, or if you would like to be listed as a Family Contact...just let me know.
