Oakes Cemetery in "the Pocket", near Edmonton, Metcalfe Co.,Ky. 
My Uncle Belvidere Hubbard took me to this cemetery. Copied by Lillie 
Rackley, May 3, 1990.

This cemetery is located between the Sulphur Springs Baptist Church 
and Pink Ridge Baptist Church. Going from Sulphur Springs Church, 
the road is on the left, in front of Wade Cassady's barn. It is on 
the old Marion Oakes farm, now owned by Carl Jeffries (May 3, 1990). 
After turning left in front of Wade Cassady's barn, go into "the pocket" 
about 3 miles. On the way in, about 1 mile from beginning of this road, 
there are two graves up on a hill under a big tree, on the right side 
of the road. They are:
