    1. Re: [KYCASEY-L] Fleming Goode
    2. Hello Lynne-- It was Judy, her husband Elton, and I who tried to find the Goode gravesite at the Vitus Clements farm. We did find the Vitus Clements farm, but we unfortunately didn't find Fleming or Alfred Goode's graves. A few days after our trip, we got a piece of information which might've helped us find it. I'll tell you all I know including what I found out afterwards, and maybe you'll have more luck than we did. The Vitus Clements farm is in Adair County, not far from the Casey County line. If you're travelling south on Highway 551 out of Casey County, it's about 2 1/2 to 3 miles south of the Casey/Adair County line. The farm is on the right side of the road. Look for a big, white house, set back from the road a little. As I recall, it is on a curve. If you go too far, you'll come to a small cemetery on the left side of the road. There are some Goodes buried there, but not Fleming or Alfred. Judy and I spoke to the man who lives in the Vitus Clements house now, and he knew nothing about a gravesite on the property. We looked around, but never found anything. What I found out several days later is that Fleming is buried "behind the house about 200 yards and a little to the left towards the creek. There is a tree in the field close to the cemetery just a ways from the fence row." I also understand that there is no grave stone, so all you can do is find the approximate location. If you have trouble locating the Vitus Clements farm, or you aren't sure which house is the right one, you can stop at the little country store which is on the right less than a mile to the north of it , just inside the Adair County line. The people there are very friendly, and they told us exactly which house it was. Good luck, Lynne! Let me know if you find it! Christy
