The “Grapevine”
Here is a picture of a grapevine that I know has been there at least 50 years. 

I played on this grapevine when I was a kid and I still see kids climbing and swinging

on its vines as late as Memorial Day Sunday of this year (2005). 

I bet every kid that visited Power's Chapel will recognize these grapevines
and recall fond memories of climbing and swinging on them.

 

Also visible in this picture is the back of Power's Chapel, the metal frames where tables are set up

for the big Memorial Day celebration every year and the cemetery

headstones way across the street in front of Power's Chapel.

     It is believed John Weldon Pearson is the person most responsible for putting this list together. Although, severely injured in a farm accident, for years John Pearson played a big part in the upkeep and improvements to the Power's Chapel & Cemetery and he was well known for being the area's local historian.  John had a lot of family and historical files that he collected over the years and these were deposited with the Rosebud Library.

     Powers Chapel Cemetery Association that meets Memorial Day weekend (Sunday) each year with a meeting in the morning, catered lunch on the grounds, short meeting after lunch with entertainment.

     The fastest way to find a grave here is by using your Ctrl + F keys.  For those not knowing how to do this, hold down the CTRL KEY and then hit the F KEY, this will bring up a search box.   Next, type in your surname, first name, or date.  Then keep hitting the “find next” button until you find the one you want.

This survey was done about 1984.
Any new ones that don’t have a tombstone already in place with their name on it I will be adding to the bottom of this list.
I don’t have a master copy of this cemetery, so if you find a mistake of any kind, please let me know and I will get it corrected.

Corrections, additions, pictures are always welcome.
Please send to
Kay.
