She had moved to the area in 1965 and discovered the old cemetery in the woods across the street. The cemetery at the time was located on the property of Chester Hicks on South Park Road in Jefferson County. The new State Hwy. was scheduled to go through that area and the cemetery to be destroyed. Mrs. Luttrell copied the stones as follows: A. K. Lochery Born July 7, 1819 Died Jan. 28, 1859 Age 40 at death Paulina R. Lochery Wife of A. K. Lochery Born May 17, 1817 Died July 23, 1848 Age 31 Years Alfred L. Lochery Grand Mason Son of A. K. and Paulina Lochery Born Feb. 14, 1847 Died Aug. 4, 1871 Age 24 Years Mary C. Lochery Daug. of A.

Long Daughter of W. A. and M. C. Long Born Dec. 6, 1880 Died Feb. 16, 1886 Age 6 Years A. (Archibald) K. and Squire Lochery are also sons of Jeremiah and Mary. Two other sons Fountain and Levi are buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, and their son Lemuel Lochery in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The Lochery cemetery also had small stones with just initials. Mrs. Luttrell did not provide the initials on the small stones. Catherine Lochery, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary, is probably also buried in this cemetery since she never married and lived with her mother after her fathers death. Catherine Lochery was born 1802 and died 1852. Diana Lochery, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Lochery may also be buried in this cemetery. Diana was born about 1809 and died before 1856. She married Jesse K. Long. Pearl S. Long was her grand daughter.
