Here is a complete burial list for the Scott Cemetery located in McCracken
County, Kentucky. My e-mail address is eagle6@brtc.net.

*******************************************************************
Scott Cemetery, McCracken County, Kentucky

Location:

Proceeding from Exit 4 on I-24, turn west onto US-60 and head west
approximately 5 miles to the intersection of US-60 with KY-726. Turn left
onto KY-726 and head south approximately 2 miles to the intersection of
Childress Road with KY-726. Turn left onto Childress Road and travel
approximately 1.6 miles to the 4-way stop intersection of Childress Road
with Gholson Road. Go straight through the intersection and travel
approximately 0.4 miles to the junction of Childress Road with Wilson Road.
Turn right onto Wilson Road and travel approximately 0.5 miles to the end of
Wilson Road. The cemetery is located on the left hand side of Wilson road at
the dead end. It should be noted that on official county maps produced by
the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Wilson Road is listed as Scott Cemetery
Road, but the sign at the road junction reads "Wilson Road".

History:

History of this cemetery is unknown by me, but appears to have belonged to,
and is still used by, the Scott family. There are headstones and footstones
that are placed around a large tree in the cemetery. These were probably
moved to ease mowing, but three of the stones are "Reeves" headstones and
the graves are now unmarked.
