[I visited this cemetery May 23, 2014 hoping to photograph Mary (Clevenger) Finchum's grave, along with her husband's (William Finchum's). His death certificate explicitly cites Goshen Cemetery. Hers simply states that she was buried in Cowan, which is the address for Goshen. Unfortunately, many of the stones are unreadable due to age. The Confederate veteran stone for William's brother, Elijah Polk Finchum, is readable.
