My friends - Our good friend, Richard Davis, has supplied some additional cemetery records for McCracken County. I will be bringing these to you over the next day or two. Richard has very kindly agreed to let me post the JP items which he puts together fromt ime to time. -B ============================================================ Here is an incomplete burial transcription list for a remote, unknown, and very neglected, cemetery that I found in far western McCracken County. I believe that many more graves are there due to the sunk in places around, but there are no markers on them so that is why it is incomplete. I gave it the name "Boldry Cemetery" since the oldest marked grave that I could find had a last name of "Boldry" inscribed on it. If it does have a name, then I will correct it, however, I believe that all cemeteries need a name. Richard B. Davis *************************************************************************** Boldry Cemetery McCracken County, Kentucky Location: >From Exit 3 on I-24, turn west onto KY-305 (also known as Old Cairo Road) and drive approximately 3 miles to the "Y" junction of KY-305 and KY-358 (also known as Ogden Landing Road). Bear right at the "Y" junction and drive approximately 5 miles to the the 3-way stop intersection of KY-358 and KY-996 (also known as Metropolis Lake Road) that is located in Grahamville, Kentucky. Drive 0.2 miles to the intersection of KY-996 and KY-358 that continues west. Turn left onto KY-358 and travel 0.9 miles to an entrance on the left hand side of KY-358. This cemetery is in a remote part of a wooded section and is very dangerous to get in and out of. Entrance is not paved and does not have any spread gravel which makes it difficult to visit during late fall or early spring due to rain making the ground very soft. Also, snakes, insects, and other wildlife are in abundance year round so visitors should be very careful as to where they step and bring insect spray. History: The history of this tiny cemetery is unknown. The name "Boldry Cemetery" was given to it by myself as that is the oldest marked grave in the cemetery and no other name for it seems to exist. I believe that other people are buried here as there are several places the size of a grave that are sunk in appear to be in rows. However, no other headstones or markers are visible. There is one illegible headstone in the cemetery and the number "28", as in 1828, is legible and in near the right edge. BENSON, Elder E. W. b. Oct. 5, 1823 d. Oct. 17, 1882 BENSON, Gillie b.
