JOANNE: THE FLATWOODS CEMETERY IS NOW CALLED THE
WOODSBEND COMMUNITY CEMETERY AND IS LOCATED ACROSS THE
ROAD FROM THE WOODSBEND COMMUNITY CHURCH WHERE I
BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL FIND A LISTING OF WHO ALL IS
BURIED HERE. IN CASE YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MORGAN
COUNTY, WOODSBEND IS JUST A LITTLE SW OF THE COUNTY
SEAT OF WEST LIBERTY ON HWY 705 AND BOTH THE CURCH AND
CEMETERY ARE ALSO LOCATED ON HWY 705. IF YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR A LIST OF WHO ALL IS BURIED THERE OR JUST
FOR A SPECIFIC PERSON YOUR BEST BEST WOULD BE TO
CONTACT SOMEONE AT THE CHURCH. HOPE THAT THIS HELPS
YOU OUT AND GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH. ROGER
