2009
Originally posted as part of the USGENWEB Internet project in 1998, and
part of the Boyd County Public Library service to patrons 1999 thru 2007, this
project continues to grow. The project would not be possible without the many
hours devoted by the late Evelyn Scyphers Jackson
during the Kentucky Historical Society Cemetery Grant Project. This guide is a
compilation of notes, information and articles and directions that I have found
through the years to form some historical background for each cemetery in our
county.
A
special thank you to my husband, James David Klaiber who has spent hours
driving me around the back roads of rural Boyd County seeking the tell tale
signs of many of the county family cemeteries.
In 2004 this project continued with the aid of the newly formed Boyd
County Cemetery Preservation Committee and volunteers especially to Joyce
Whitlock and Marvina Webb who have been very patient with my every whim. The original cemetery board members finished
their terms in 2008.
The
Kentucky Historical Society Cemetery Grant Project, begun in 1968, utilized
latitude and longitude as the only form of direction, citing U.S. Department of
the Interior Geological Survey quadrangle maps.
However, not every cemetery, within Boyd County, was physically marked
on those map series. The maps were created using topography and photogrammetric
methods, utilizing aerial photographs. The original photographs were taken in
1952. Revised photos were taken in 1967
and a final field check in 1968.
The KHS
Grant Project was done in several steps.
First the cemeteries were physically read and the readers wrote
everything row-by-row entering data on pads.
The pads were then transcribed and typed on KHS forms again just as
entered row- by-row or stone by stone.
The forms were to be handed in and then re-entered in a computer
database. Each county was to receive a
print-out of the alpha sorted material.
The print-out received for Boyd County does not include all of the typed
forms located and utilized to help create this locator guide. Thus if the description cites an assigned KHS
cemetery number it indicates that it was re-entered in the computer at
KHS. If no number is cited in the
cemetery entry the form [for various reasons] never were tabulated by KHS.
Cemeteries physically shown
on the older quadrangle maps are indicated in this guide. The 1953 and 1957 maps are housed in the Boyd
County Public Library, Minnie Crawford Winder Room. Place-Name-Index, a
computer disc [created by Buckmaster, Mineral,
Virginia], contains names also from the quadrangle maps of the U.S. Geological
Survey including the marked cemeteries.
Many cemeteries, in this guide, were not marked on any of these finding
aids. The compiler has utilized Travel
Maps USA, produced by COSMI, to enter latitude and longitude provided from
the Kentucky Historical Project. Several
errors have been corrected with this map system. Older cemeteries have been discovered since
the project and the compiler and others
are visiting as many locations as possible to verify the information provided.
Cemeteries in this listing
may be described more than one time.
Through the years cemetery names have changed with land ownership. Every
effort is being made to cross- reference these duplications. However, if we
have not verified that a cemetery with similar description is definitely a
match we have left both citations as separate entries. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Please
notify the compiler with additional information.
When visiting any cemetery,
courtesies should be shown to the surrounding property owner, even if a
right-of-way exists. Please stop at the nearest home and get permission before
crossing properties. This also alerts
others that you are in the vicinity and protects you, as well. Do not visit
cemeteries alone. Always take a
partner. Do not climb fences. Instead look for the nearest gate. Do not do rubbings. Stones are fragile. Use photography instead.
Do not use chemicals to clean stones nor place sealants over stones. What you
think is a minor protection will eventually destroy the stone. An excellent
source for proper cemetery readings and care can be found in A Graveyard
Preservation Primer by Lynette Strangstad,
published by the American Association for State and Local History in
cooperation with the Association for Gravestone Studies.
Any additions or
corrections should be sent to compiler Teresa Martin Klaiber, c/o Deliverance
Farm, 22937 Long Branch Road, Rush, Kentucky.

soldiers
who died during the CW at the Aldine turned Hospital were buried. Most if not all of those soldiers were removed to New
Albany National Cemetery. If these were
“exhumed” there has been no documentation showing such in any court records to
date. According to information on the
National Cemetery the bodies were “gathered” from
our area in 1868 which would indicate exhumation. A History of Ashland, KY
1786 to 1954, page 102; Pictorial History of Eastern KY, Stuart Sprague,
page 2 gives information. Hilton survey, original copy,BCPL,
directors office holdings, 1999 shows cemetery..
However, because Bethesda burials also took place in what is known as Beech
Grove and lack of documentation, question has arisen to the exact location of
these burials. No visible graves, 1999

CATLETT FAMILY BURIAL GROUND: General
vicinity between 25th and 27th Street upper side of
Walnut/US23 at Catlettsburg. According
to history approximately 4 graves: Alexander Catlett, Horatio Catlett and two
daughter’s of Horatio Catlett. 1824: Alexander Catlett's inventory
filed Will Book 2 page 38, Greenup County, Kentucky, 7 June 1824.
His only property consisted of "one brown mare."
1847: Horatio Catlett,
son of Alexander, alive April 1847 when James Riggs initiated suit for debt
in the Greenup County Court Orders and Catlett's deposition is to be
taken. By Spring the following year the case involves the heirs of
Horatio Catlett who are not in state. 1847: Bethesda Church minutes make
note that Horatio Catlett died in 1847. No month of day are cited. 1850:
Horatio Catlett's estate filed Will book 4 page 218, Greenup
County, Kentucky. The Sheriff of Greenup County notes that his accounts were
either paid or worthless from lapse of time and insolvency of the
debtors..."1853: Ironton Register Thurs Feb 10, 1853 Gen'l John Poage Reminiscences No. 11 "During the first winter
1799-1900 of General Poage's residence in Greenup
County he spent much of his hunting time in company with Horatio Catlett, then
a boy of some 16 and who died some five or six years since at
Catlettsburg." [Statement places death as 1847.] 1865:
"Old Tavern Stand of Catletts Property" is
filed in Boyd County Deed book 2 page 379. Later histories say that
Horatio is said to have died while staying at the tavern. 1887: William Ely published The Big Sandy Valley and
states "Horatio...Sawny Catlett’s bones lie
buried in the Old Catlett burying-ground, near the barn of Colonel L. T.
Moore"
This is the first instance this researcher finds stating a place of burial. Map
of Catlettsburg shows L. T. Moore property with what appears to be barn.

remaining large tree overlooking the old wagon road and Long Branch Road stands
beside a large boulder. As we talked Klaiber discovered initials E. E. H.
carved on the boulder [see photographs below]. An added touch was the large
Turkey that ran from behind a group of rocks next to the boulder.
Green Hill sponsored one of the earliest schools in the
