The Neighbors/Neighbours family cemetery is located off of Finley road off Route 449, Cumberland County, Kentucky before the Bowe School House Cemetery. Finley road is not to be confused with Finley-Scott road on the other side of the Bowe School House Cemetery. Finley road is a single lane, dead-end road. The Neighbors graveyard is on the right, just after topping the crest of the hill from which you can see farm buildings at the end of the road. When visited in Sept 2009, the graveyard was covered with growth and the area is surrounded by a "fence" of small (4x4) concrete post which may not be visible due to the overgrowth.

There are a number of graves there - the only one well marked with a recent enscribed marker is for the Neighbors family. Some headstones are unreadable. There are reportedly 6 unmarked Graves. The old family referred to their farm as "Bread Tray Hollow" due to the shape of the land resembling a bread tray.

I would like to express our deepest thanks and appreciation of all the Neighbors descendents to Tammy and Don Clark who have undertaken to care for our ancestor's resting place. They have changed it from a patch, overgrown with weeds, to a true memorial. Thanks to you and your family from us all.
