Powell County, Kentucky

Tucked away in the hills of Powell County, Rogers Chapel Cemetery carries the memory of generations gone before us. Beneath these stones rest fathers and mothers, veterans, children, neighbors, and kinfolk whose lives helped shape the communities around Slade and eastern Powell County. Some markers stand proud and clear, while others have weathered softly with time, but each name holds a story worth remembering. It is our hope that this page helps preserve those stories for future generations through records, photographs, and family remembrance.
