Greenup County KyArchives Cemeteries.....Webb Cemetery - Partial Survey More to Come ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ky/kyfiles.html ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Thomas Adkins southernblueeyes@hotmail.com December 10, 2004, 7:09 am Abstracted By: Thomas Adkins, Randa LeBrun Webb Cemetery is located in southern Greenup County, in the Leatherwood area. Take Leatherwood Branch from Kentucky Route 7, and turn onto Little Leatherwood (now called Buffalo Branch). Go approximately 1/2 mile, and the cemetery sits atop a hill on the right side of the road. An old logging road goes up to the cemetery but it is in bad shape, and access is by foot only. The last burial in the cemetery occurred November 10, 1964. For the past 25-30 years, the cemetery had fallen into disrepair, becoming covered with vines, multiflora rose, and greenbriar, and much damage of the area trees resulted from ice storms of the past couple of years. Forty years almost to the day after the last burial, descendants and relatives of those buried in Webb Cemetery gathered to clean up the grave yard. Plans are to also clear the access road, hopefully get the county to gravel it, and also fence off the site. Only two graves are "marked' with engraved markers - those of Asa Sanders (last burial; small metal sign) and a hand- carved fieldstone for Lillian V. Meadows, an infant. Descendants are currently raising funds to purchase granite markers for those buried there. For information on contributing to this fund, please contact Thomas Adkins at southernblueeyes@hotmail.com Also please contact Thomas Adkins at the above email if you know of other burials, so they can be added to the cemetery census.
