Directions from Sandy Muncy--Take Mountain Parkway from Lexington to Quillin's Chapel Rd. exit 42.  Turn left onto Rt 1653 West and cross the overpass over the interstate.  Immediately after the bridge is a road off to the right.  It is a 2 lane blacktop road Rt. 3039 and is beforethe salt dome on the left side of the road which you can see from the interstate.  Follow 3039 for a mile or so and then turn left onto Quillin's Chapel School Rd.  There is a brick ranch house on the corner of 3039 and Quillen's Chapel School Rd.  Go up the hill.  At the top of the hill you must go left or right.  There is a sign on the left that says Spencer Rd. but I am not sure if it is for the gravel road on the left or the paved road on the right.  Bear to your right in a 90 degree turn and follow the road until it turns into gravel.  Shortly after the gravel you will see a pull off on the left.  Park there and walk to the cemetery which is at the top of a steep hill right in front of the pull-off.  The cemetery is well maintained and although the hill is steep it is not that high or hard to climb.  It is directly in the sun with no shade.  Alley King is buried on the top ridge of the hill, sort of in the center.  His stone faces the side of the hill you climbed and he lies between his first wife Serilda and his son by his second wife, Lillian, Verl Oscar (or Oscar Verl). The cemetery is NOT on private property.
