    3. Hello Again, Could someone tell me is Owens Chapel in Graves County? I just won an old photo on Ebay with this on the back of the photo. "This is a picture of a crew of unpaid volunteers, including William Francis Peterson, father of W.F.Peterson, who supplied the labor and furnished the wagons and mules to put gravel on a section of the Penny Road that ran along the west side of the 640 acre farm established by my grandfather, Morton Peterson. The portion of the road graveled (it was formerly mired to their axles in the winter) extended from the north end of the orad where it intersected with what was then known at the Mayfield-Egners Ferry Road over which stage coaches had once run between Fulton and Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to the Almo and Kirksey Road, a distance of about three miles. Dad is the man with the garden hoe on his shoulder, eighth from the right in the picture. The picture was taken on the north side of Owens Chapel Church, which in recent years has been turned so that the long way of the building is parallel to the road and has been brick veneered. Incidentally, the lad for the church was donated to the Owens Chapel Congregation by my grandfather. W.F. Peterson, Picture was taken about 1918 or 1919."
