RUTHERFORD-HOSKINS CEMETERY
This cemetery is on the left side of the road in the trees on Hwy 53 just over the Bluegrass Parkway.
JS Drury transcribed the stones in 1977 and noted that it was behind a trailer in the trees, and the trailer was still there in 2008.
It is a large cemetery surrounded by a crumbling rock wall, however tombstones and fieldstone markers were only found in one quarter of the area.
A handwritten note on JS Drury’s transcript indicates that Robert Brown and Zerilda Rutherford Brown may have fieldstone markers.
