Pallbearers: Sam BOARD Norman J. DOWELL Henry W. BOARD Herman E. BEARD Ollie ADKISSON Clint McCOY Submitted by: Peggy Russell meemawpeg7@gmail.com Additional Comments: I did not find a tombstone for Henry or his wife, Zelma. I checked the Breckinridge County Cemetery Book, Vol. one, which was published in 1991. There are two cemeteries with the Bethel name in Breckinridge County. The New Bethel Cemetery located 5 miles north of Hardinsburg, Ky., on New Bethel- Stephensport Road, off KY Highway 259. However, I believe Henry is buried at Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery, located east of Bewleyville, Ky., on KY Highway 333. This cemetery is closest to Irvington, and the Meade--Breckinridge County lines than the other cemetery. Just my opinion.
