It is located on Cook Rd. in Spencer Co.  We took 4 wheel drives up a hill in a cowpasture 
to find it.  It was overgrown with brush which we cut back. We were thrilled to find Baze 
Thurman's stone intact and his wife Margaret Osborne Thurman next to him.  The stones were 
made of soft limestone and were difficult to read.  His was barely readable.

There was another stone rather large that had fallen over and was too embedded in the ground 
to lift out.  It was a Hedges...all I could read was the Hedges and  12, 1837 and 1878

I took pictures.  Let me know if anyone would like copies.
