THE WILLIAM WILLS CEMETERY, Means, Menifee County, Kentucky Compiled by Edie Suttle (jsattle9@idt.net) It is located in a field on Route 460 in Menifee County Kentucky just out side of Means Kentucky is only accessible through a private drive, for which you have to ask permission to cut through the owners back yard to visit the cemetery. It is over grown and in need of extensive repair. A lot of the stones are still standing, but some are falling or laying face down. I would really love it if I only knew what I could do to make sure that the cemetery of my ancestors does not disappear with the ages of time.
