Kate, Even if White Cottage is on private property, all it would take is asking the owner for permission which I am sure will not be denied. To find the owner only take contacting the tax office in the Lawerence County Courthouse.

That cemetery has been moved and there is a house almost in the middle of it that someone lives in. We walked the small cemetery two years ago and the person who lived in the house came out and talked to us and tried to help us find what we were looking for. When we were in South Point in June, there was no nontrespassing sign there. I can find out from my cousin who lives down the road from the cemetery, if they are no longer allowing visitors to the cemetery, if you want me to. I don't see how anyone can prevent people from visiting a cemetery. What name are you looking for?
