    1. [KYGARRAR] FW: BRUCE and PALMER cemeteries
    2. Kith-n-Kin
    3. I am looking for the "exact" location of the BRUCE cemetery, which includes tombstones for: John Bruce Elizabeth Clay Bruce Members of the ARNOLD and DOTY families And others One source, a write-up in the Garrard County News, 31 Oct 1991, gives the location as: "On a hilltop on the G.B.Shell farm off Point Leavell Road" The cemetery book has: "On the Paul Ballard farm 0.75 mi South of Ky 52 near Point Leavell." I suppose the cemetery book is older, so the farm probably is now "Shell". However, when there last, we couldn't see, from the road south from Point Leavell (county #1972 ?). Can anyone give more directions? For example, is it on the east or west side of the road. Does anyone know the owner? I did find some "Shells" who live on Richmond Road, which I believe is Hwy 52, but the addresses are closer to Lancaster. There is a GB Shell, but no street number. Now, as to the PALMER cemetery, I'm not sure which Palmers were buried there, but the directions are: "Near Point Leavell 0.25 mi North of Ky 52 on Railroad Grade Road. First farm on the left after leaving the tunnel. Cemetery unfenced inside a cattle feed lot behind the barn." When last there, the by-pass was under construction. We did find the tunnel, we think, and worked our way to the north side of the by-pass in the same position. There is a farm there, and as you go up a hill, there is a barn with a cow pen on the downhill side. Does this sound familiar? And then, does anyone know of any other cemeteries that may be in that area. Specifically, I am looking for the grave of a NIXON PALMER and MARY PALMER. There may be two Mary Palmers, as Nixon married twice, both times to a Mary. Also looking for a NANCY PALMER. Same situation. Husband may have married twice, to two Nancys. We are going back to Garrard in September, so would like to find out as much as possible. Thanks for your help. Pat (in Tucson)
