Raymond will be remembered in the Bowling Green and Warren County area as being an outstanding gospel preacher and servant of God. He gave freely of his talents to the cause of Christ in this area. Many congregations of the Lord's people are indebted to him in building them up in the Lord. Some of those congregations are strong and self-supporting today because of the untiring work Raymond did while serving as their minister. Much of this work was done without cost while contributing of his own means to support works that involved all the congregation. He was unselfish in his dedication to the Lord and to the Lord's work.

Go about mid way and park on the left. Head toward the tree, and the Hazelip plot should be facing you as you walk toward the tree. The closest circle around the tree is the location.
