WILKINSON FAMILY CEMETERY

 

Parcel #  13-09-26-0000-0031-0040.  130 Cow Bay Road.  This is a relatively new cemetery in the county that was created in 1993.  It consists of a one acre parcel that was cut out of the larger Gordon and Naomi Wilkinson family lands, and set aside for use as the Family Cemetery.  Mr. Gordon Wilkinson wished to be interred on his property, and did all the paperwork necessary to make it happen.  This cemetery was known to the Cemetery Task Force in 1999, but had not been used at that time.  Mr. Gordon Wilkinson became the first ‘resident’ in 2004.  Other family members have since followed.

 

Driving directions are as follows:  Take HWY 17 north out of Palatka.  Cross the Rice Creek bridge and go to the first traffic light which is the intersection of HWY 17, County Landfill Road to the west, and West River Road to the east.  Turn left at the light onto County Landfill Road and follow that until you are almost at the entrance to the landfill.  Turn right onto Cow Bay Road, which is a gravel road.  Follow it north until you reach the Wilkinson mailbox which is 130 Cow Bay Road.  The driveway leads to the home of Mr. Wayne Wilkinson and his family. 

 

This is a private, family cemetery and private land, so you will need to make contact with the family if you wish to visit.  PALATKA QUAD.  N 29o 43.345’ W 81o 039.608’  (Maintained).
