On October 21, 2008 new Memorial Tombstones were set by the Owsley County History and Genealogy Society. One in the William Abner Cemetery on the South Fork for William and Jane Baker Abner and Alma Moore and one for John Logan and Mary Cook in the Harvey Combs Cemetery. The two stones were made by Martha and Marion Couch from Alabama. We are honored that they brought the stones all the way to Kentucky and then returned to help Tommy Barrett in the setting of them. The following photos were taken at the settings.

We also wish to thank Sadie Couch Lundy Mosley, LaVonne Smith and Geraldine Bowling for taking the photo for us of the Cook Children’s stone and for attending our loved ones memorial.
This is the beginning of something far bigger for our group as Marion and Martha would not take funds to make these two stones; Nan Wilson, sister of Alma Moore and 2nd Great Granddaughter of William and Jane Baker Abner, Nancy Frost Moulton also a 2nd Great Granddaughter and first cousin to Alma and Carol Sue Campbell, sister of John Logan and Mary Cook and 3rd Great Granddaughter of William and Jane and 2nd cousin of Alma, Nancy and Nan, donated funds intended for Martha and Marion, to the Owsley County History and Genealogy Society’s new Tombstone Project.
