About this listing...
This cemetery is located in the beautiful hills of Kentucky, a few miles north of Jackson, Breathitt County. When we first
found it, it was completely grown over with vines, small trees and weeds, only allowing just two or three of the many grave
stones to be seen. Since the initial clearing, our family is currently working to maintain and continue clearing
this cemetery. However, we can only spend one or two weekends a year on it. If anyone reading this has ancestors
buried here, won't you please consider donating one weekend a year in helping to restore this cemetery? If you want
more details about volunteering, please email me. Our thanks
go to the King family, who own the land this cemetery is on and allow us the freedom to visit it and clear it.
List of graves as recorded by Jayne McRae, Scott Hampton, Dawn Bultman, April Hampton (all four of whom are direct descendents of J.W. South, Jerry South, Lula B. South, James Cope and Elizabeth Cope listed above), Adie McRae, Ed Bultman

If anyone has any questions about this information please email me and I will do my best to help.

1. There was a large brush pile at the rear-center of the cemetery that we were unable to clean up. We suspect there may be a few graves under the brush pile that are not recorded here.
2. Several of the graves, mostly Hatton, are located up on the hill above the main section of the cemetery. We cleared a path to these graves which begins behind the two fenced grave areas on the left side of the cemetery.
3. Every effort has been made to record the spelling of names and words exactly as they appear on each marker, and to carefully include those misspellings here.
4. Many stones have been broken or knocked over. In most cases we opted not to repair or reset those stones since we are not knowledgeable in the proper procedures for doing so and did not want to risk damaging them.
5. There are a few bases without markers. In most cases we were able to locate the markers buried next to the base. We simply uncovered the markers and left them laying down.
6. My footnotes on any particular individual appear in parentheses.
7. We located several sites that would appear to be possible graves due to the size and shape of sunken areas in the ground. These sunken areas also are in line with other graves and are located just to the right and just behind the fenced grave areas. The number of these possible graves is 6.
8. Number of unmarked stones: 63

PS - Since this was compiled the cemetery was scanned using a sounding device (thank you Stephen Bowling and friend !) and it was determined there are many more graves here than what is apparent. We are hoping to locate a map of this cemetery. If you know of one PLEASE email me.
