This cemetery was begun by Alfred Lee Owen for the family of William Franklin Owen and Mary Jane (nee Snider) Owen (his parents).
The cemetery is located on the property originally purchased by Mary Jane Owen for the family. The family farm was located on what is now called Edgewood Farm Road (see attached photos) and was named that by Mildred (nee Owen) Jordan, daughter of Alfred's brother, Jesse Harrison Owen. She named it that because the road was on the edge of the family farm near the woods!

The cemetery is located off Candlewick Road, about 30 feet from HWY 150 (Mooresville Road). Candlewick Road is the next street to Edgewood Farm Road (where the old homestead was located) on HWY 150.
