Contributed by boog_lamb@yahoo.com. Suzan Lawson Lamb Date Sept 2001 ***************************************************************************** Boyd County, Kentucky. Off of Strait (Straight) Creek Road. Directions from the cemetery to the highway are: 2 1/2 miles on Strait Creek Road, turn left onto State Route 5, then go ten miles to Route 23. This cemetery boards the Boyd County and Greenup County lines. I have taken a reading of my own and combined it with two others that were done before me. I have included both of them on this page so that you can check the dates on them. The second one that was done, is arranged by groupings, the first one is done by alphabetizing the surnames. I have also followed the alphabetized way. I videotaped the cemetery for my reading so I could verify the information. Some headstones were added after the first reading and also since the last. I will also have some photographs of some of the tombstones. If you are interested in a copy of the video please contact me at boog_lamb@yahoo.com. The video isn't perfect, but it gets the job done. If there is something written in parenthesis then it was added for reference, not on the tombstone. ADKINS, Cledith 1930-1942 (Son of Tennessee A. Adkins) BEGLEY, Mary Jane 7years 11m. 4Ds.

This fenced area has a separate entrance and is closed off to the public. So I was unable to read this portion. I believe some of the names in this list are in that fenced area. Once again, this reading was first done between 1968 and 1977. It was done once again in the late 1980's and I have videotaped the cemetery for my reading. I am attaching both of the previous readings for verification and also to give credit where it needs to go. I found both of these list in the Boyd County Public Library and I appreciate the person or persons who went before me and put this list together. Thank you for preserving my family and others also. If you have any questions please email me at boog_lamb@yahoo.com. T hank you.
