Bowden Family Cemetery
Lithia Springs (Douglas County), Georgia

This family cemetery is on the north side of Bankhead Highway, just west of its intersection with Thornton Road.
 It is across Bankhead from the Bowden home, between Parkview Church of God and a small car wash. The cemetery
 was cleaned down to bare ground in October 2008, revealing previously undetected graves under decades of leaf litter.
 There appear to be thirty-five graves laid out in five rows:

Row 1 (the westernmost row)

Six graves without even un-inscribed fieldstones to mark them, just very obvious equally spaced depressions that when
 probed with a tile probe prove to be burials. 

Row 2

Two un-inscribed fieldstones

Double marker for:

Born December 30, 1825			Born June 17, 1829
Died February 3, 1891			Died July 10, 1878
(This marker was in the cemetery in February 1998 but is now gone.)
