LOCATION OF CEMETERY:
The Polston/Poston Cemetery is located on what was once known as the OLD STEPHEN GOODMAN FARM in the 1800's and known as the ISAAC MARTIN PRESLEY FARM in 1930_1971. It is located off Highway 88, seven miles west of Munfordville, Hart County, Kentucky, in the area known as the Kessinger Community. It is located about one_fourth mile off Highway 88 on a hill. The cemetery is in very bad shape as it is grown up and many of the tombstones are broken and many of the gravesites are sunk in.

*NOTE* The two following grave_stones have weathered with age and are no longer readable as well as several other tombstones located in the same row in this cemetery. All tombstones and field_stones are covered by debris, and many stones have sunk into the ground. (I have been familiar with this cemetery all my life as I was reared on this farm.)
