Barnes Cemetery
Boone, Watauga County, North Carolina

Lat: 36° 14' 58"N, Lon: 81° 40' 16"W
New River Township

Contributed by Carl W Dykes, Nov 14, 2006 [cwdykes@charter.net]. Total records = 12.

To reach the Barnes Cemetery from Boone, drive north on NC 194, turn left or west onto Howard Creek Road, then right onto State Hwy 1320/Howard Creek Church Road. The cemetery is on the right side of the road.

This cemetery is in good condition. History and ownership is unknown, but it appears to be a family cemetery. The first listed burial was in 1875 and it is still being used for burials occasionally.

I completed reading and transcribing this cemetery from all existing and legible headstones and markers on Nov 01, 2006.
