2009 - I found this at blueridgenow.com - Owenby-Moore Cemetery - Off Nor th Mills River Road, near Whitaker Lane, and on top of a small mounta in is the Owenby-Moore Cemetery. Mark Moore, 1848-1921, moved to Henders on County from Rutherford County, according to family history. His first w ife was a Waldrop and his second wife a Rickman. They owned property betw een North and South Mills River. He and his wife, Mary, are buried in t he family cemetery, according to family members. Moore's son, Marion, owned adjacent property and the family cemetery was l ocated between the two pieces of property. The cemetery is in a cleared thicket of laurels, deep in the woods. The on ly stones found were those of Madison N. Owenby, 1801-1870; A.R. Moore, di ed 1875; John R. Moore, 1869-1870; Julia T. Moore, 1873-1874; and three fi eldstones. The owner of the forested property, Carmen Burke, wants a si gn put up at the road, directing descendants to the cemetery, Miller sai d. "It would be nice if a group could mark or make a trail from where t he old road ends to the cemetery," he said. The cemetery is in a beautiful, natural setting. Due to the laurel &tree s, there is not much undergrowth. It is possible more stones could be fou nd if the area was probed and raked. The cemetery is listed on the county 's GIS system.
