Compiled by Bill Floyd (wdfloyd@rfci.net) Copyright, 1997 W.D. Floyd KOON CEMETERY By W. D. Floyd To get to this family cemetery from Gilkey, NC on Highway US221 turn west across from the sawmill onto Painter’s Gap Road, SR 1328, go 4.3 miles and turn left onto Padgett Road. Go about a half mile, to the bottom of the hill, and turn right on a gravel driveway. As you start out the driveway you will soon find an old drive off to the right, go on by it and at the next old drive, turn in and park your car and walk up the old road. The cemetery will be a few hundred feet on the right inside a fence. I was there September 26, 1997.
