Vincent Church Cemetery
Highway 238, Bee Spring, KY

Take Highway 238 northwest, 0.7 mile, from Bee Springs to Vincent Church.
Turn left, just past the church, onto Vincent Cemetery Road , 0.2 mile.
The cemetery is located on the right and is enclosed by a fence.

This cemetery was probably established in the 1880's
since the earliest recorded death is in 1886.

Concrete markers, presumably for graves, are scattered throughout
this cemetery, and will be duly noted in each row.

This page is the Complete Transcription that was recorded by Janice Miller in 1999 and early 2000. Janice has done a remarkable job with the full transcription which lists each marker, in order, by row.
