It covers only the older section only. Everybody is in alphabetical order by last name.
I have several graves designated as "z" at the end of the file. The Historical Society listed approximately 130 unknown graves when they did their field survey in 1990 for their publication, Southeast Cemeteries of Laurel County, Kentucky. There are an additional 100 to 200 "lost" graves either being unmarked or where the sandstone has fallen and eventually become grown over.
If I felt there was no hope at all of making a determination of what a stone said I have not included the photograph. I have approximately 700 photos here which list maybe 800 grave sites considering many are joint markers but several also have duplicate military markers. My "photo" survey and the survey done by the Laurel County Historical Society seems to match pretty well. I have included a very few that may have been missed in 1990. I did however fail to locate or identify the following grave sites:
Evans, H. L.
Guthrie, Henry
Eldridge, Elizabeth
Clouse, Maggie Mae
Brock, d/o Wm and Eliza
Hammock, L. N.
Sally, Marilla
Englewood, John R
These 8 Grave Sites could very well be included in my photos named "z" at the end of the file. When you can not read the dates on the photos please refer to pages 318 - 348 of Southeast Laurel County Cemeteries published by the Laurel County Historical Society.
