The Cemetery is now located in Windsor Lake Subdivision
(photo) off Arnoldtown Road in Jefferson County on the Connor of Windsor Lake
Parkway and Regal Pine Court, on Lot No. 22. No stones are left on
the site today. Some stones may have been removed when the
building site began and other stones were removed later from Lot
22 to a drainage ditch between Lot 19 and 20 in an area called
Commons. The residences of the subdivision are aware of the
Cemetery being located on Lot 22. Bruce Board, President of the
Windsor Lake Subdivision Association was most helpful in our
search for finding the ditch were some of the stones were located.
Many of the walkers of the subdivision have seen the stones over
the years. I know this because of stopping and asking a couple of
walkers with a baby stroller if they knew of a cemetery, they
pointed us in the right direction. It should be noted here that
the Cemetery is not part of Windsor Lake Subdivision. The deed is
exclusive of ½ acre for the graveyard. The graveyard is owned by
the descendents of the Fey Families. On 11 November 2001 Bruce and
Brenda Fey and Charles my husband, and myself went to the scene
and dug up and removed some of the stones from the drainage ditch
in an effort to save some part of the history of the families. It
was necessary for us to piece them together like they were a
puzzle. It is a sad sight for us to think that such a thing like
this is happening today. All are rules and laws don’t mean much to
those who will destroy the burial site of those who have gone
before us. Sources used for this list besides the stones found,
are the Church records, family records and in some cases death
certificates. The idea here was to find as many of the people as
possible that were buried there.
