CEMETERY: Richland Cemetery, Knox County, KY Transcribed by: Sharlene Sexton - SharleneSexton@webtv.net Date: 10 July 1999 *********************************************************************** RICHLAND CEMETERY Compiled By: Sharlene Sexton, Freda Sexton, Laura (Carter) Adams, Lynnie Scalf, Joseph Keen, Tarah & Colton King July 10, 1999 Directions: take cumberland gap pkwy towards barbourville pass gray ky go approximately a mile and you will come to gilliam hill. Go down to the bottom of the hill and at the foot of the hill turn the first road to the left. Go approximately a half of a mile. The cemetery is located in a steep curve to your right. These graves have been transcribbed in no particular order. This is not a complete listing of this cemetery. There are several graves that are overgrown. I will attempt to go back This fall or winter and transcribe the graves that are very badly overgrown. Some graves have been well taken care of but a lot of the graves are overgrown. It looks like that some people have mowed a path to their graves and cleared their grave and nothing else. Come on people this is a very small cemetery and is right next to the road and once it is cleared it will not take long to keep up this cemetery by mowing all of it. -------------------------------------------------------------- ERNEST LEE BAKER APRIL 24, 1955 8 YRS. 7 MOS. 7 DAYS HART FUNERAL HOME MARKER ONLY KEITH A.
