HISTORY OF POWERS ADDITION
Most of the land on
the west side of the original Greenwood cemetery was owned by Orlando Powers. As with many pioneer
families, they chose a spot on their property to bury their loved ones. The spot the Powers family
picked was right next to Block 8, at the west boundry of Greenwood. There are stones dating back to
the 1850's.
Around 1878 that section of land was annexed to Greenwood cemetery. The lot
looks like one big section, but is actually two. On the east side of the section is Block 8. On
the west side is the Powers Addition. If you stand at the south end of the section and look north
you will see 4 trees in a direct line with the fence to the north. That is the original property
line of Greenwood.
