of Hopkinsville, or across the road and about one half mile from Vaughans Methodist Chapel. This grave-

LOIS HAMILTON, 3500 Sycamore Dr, Boise, ID 83703 found these cemetery listings in the Jul 1971 issue
of CHRISTIAN COUNTY CO KY ANCESTORS. When I wrote Mr. Cordry, asking permission to print them,
his letter was returned marked "Deceased". I am therefore sharing with you work done by him many years ago.
