    1. [KYMUHLEN] Hayden Cemetery at Drakesboro
    2. Mary Becker
    3. I am looking for information re: people buried at the Hayden Cemetery outside of Drakesboro (toward Paradise). The whole area has been strip-mined, but this small cemetery has been left untouched (literally! - it is terribly grown up). Some of the people that I know are buried there are Oscar Stevens and his wife (Elizabeth?), some of the Haydens, and John "Jack" Walsh (died 18 Aug 1929) and his ex-wife Mary Lucinda Elizabeth Patterson Walsh (who remarried, but I don't know her remarried name or even if she stayed married). Their daughter Myrtle Walsh possibly "Nash" is also buried there. She was born in 1897 or 1898 and died young. She had a daughter named Mary Nash, but I do not know if she was married to Mary's father. Most if not all of these people do not have any markers. I do not have any dates for anyone besides Jack. My mother is the granddaughter of Jack and M.L. Elizabeth and would like to erect a memorial stone at the cemetery with the names of those relatives who are buried there on it. Doe anyone know who is "in charge" of this cemetery and would have records? Mrs. Stevens (above) only died about 15 years ago, and was buried there, so there are obviously records somewhere since she was not buried on top of anyone else! It just occured to me that maybe the people at one of the local funeral homes would know this information. I will try (I work - it's sometimes difficult) on Monday and see. But if anyone knows this information, please share! Thanks so much! Mary K. Becker
