History of Hezekiah Hughes burial ground. Near this spot in the Henry Bowman Cemetery lies the remains of pioneer settlers Hezekiah Hughes & his wife Elizabeth Click. As farmers they worked this land which served as a family orchard. When their young daughter died from a bee sting, they sought the most beautiful spot on their property for her final resting place.

Accordingly this blossom covered ground became the family cemetery. It was dedicated by family May 26, 1997. A monument is in the cemetery about this. There are many markers without names in this cemetery.
