Plat of cemetery after
relocation to Rest Haven
Shows location of each grave site relocated to Rest Haven. Are designated on marker as 3/1 or 3/23 etc., with the number "3" designating the cemetery from which the remains were removed. In this instance the "3" is the Rogers Ford Cemetery. The next number is the new grave number. These numbers will appear on the aluminum markers. Please note that remains from all tenHomethat were displaced by the construction of Laurel Lake were moved to a parcel of property beside Rest Haven in Corbin, Kentucky. While Rogers Ford Cemetery was the largest if you are looking at the other nine relocatedHomethe remains are probably here as well.. This listing below are ONLY those remains moved FROM Rogers Ford Cemetery to Rest Haven. I have not documented the other relocated cemeteries. If you had ancestors who lived on the section of Laurel River that was affected by the construction of Laurel Lake chances are this cemetery is of interest to you.
