Hawks Cemetery

In Edmonson County

By Wm. Michael Wilson

Jim French and Wife

This cemetery is located about 2 miles west of Pine Grove Presbyterian Church in Edmonson County. This is a very old cemetery and probably precedes the Hawks family. Colonel Calvin Duvall Cowles, in the book, "The Cowles Families in America", written around 1910 leads one to believe it was the Cowles family graveyard. The large number of sandstone markers on the top of the hill would support the notion that the graveyard existed long before it was called Hawks Cemetery.
