Folden Cemetery
GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) Coordinates - pending
Location: On top of a hill in the forest behind the former Midway Church of God of Prophecy building. See Cemetery Plat
Condition: This cemetery is not currently consistently maintained although trees are kept cleared by neighbors and family. It is within the forest and is covered with leaves and some brush.
Notes: There are 30 marked graves in this cemetery of which 13 are marked only by plain rocks. From family sources and death certificates I was able to places names for 7 of these graves. 3 graves had funeral home markers that were not very legible, but I was able to partially decipher two of these for this listing (see the notes for each person)
