    3. With some help from directory assistance (not much) and the Internet, I was able to track down a phone number for the Corinth Water District in Grant Co., KY. I spoke with manager, Billy Hill, and he assured me that he had already personally inspected the Taylor Cemetery at the end of the Shiloh Road and that it would not be disturbed. The water trunk line will terminate at the edge of the cemetery. Although there are laws against disturbing or desecrating cemeteries, we know that it does happen occasionally, but I feel much better after talking to Mr. Hill. The Taylor Family Cemetery, although in Grant County, is located across Three Forks Creek from the Canby Church. Directions to the cemetery from Lusby Mill: Take Hwy 330 east from Lusby Mill 2.4 miles and turn left on the Fortner Ridge Road and then almost immediately bear right on the Keefer Pike. After approximately one mile you will cross Three Forks Creek and are now in Grant Co. Continue on through Keefer past the Antioch Church of Christ a couple of miles and turn right on the Shiloh Road. Take the Shiloh Road all the way to the end of the paved road (about 3 miles). Where the paved road ends, the road continues as a rock and gravel(not much gravel) road. The cemetery is located about 200 yards from where the asphalt pavement ends. You can drive right up to the cemetery, but I wouldn't try it soon after a hard rain. Persons buried here have close ties with early Canby and Lusby Mill families of Taylor, Howard, Mason, Wainscott, and others. If anyone has previously indexed the graves here, please let me know. I hope to be able to get back over there early next year and clean out some of the undergrowth and try to find more of the stones. For those that replied to my earlier message, Thanks!
