Wierd Cemetery -  Bullitt Co 

The Wierd Cemetery
Bullitt Co KY
Knob Creek Road

This cemetery is located off Knob Creek Road about 150 yards up Wierd Road.
There is another cemetery (REDDON family) of new origin adjacent to the
gravesites and separated by a fence.  The Wierd cemetery is not kept up and,
albeit the season, would have been very difficult to locate or see from the
road even though the headstones are within reaching distance from a vehicle.
The fence serves as a property boundary.

The names in the Wierd cemetery do not match the cemetery name as the road
name does.  The only visible headstones are listed below with obvious other
graves not marked.  This cemetery appears on the USGS Topo map dtd. 1959.

There is only one footstone with the initials "H W" on it which is not in the
proximity of the Henry Wire grave.  Due to the foilage growth and missing
headstones, no other graves could be indentified.  There appeared to be at
least four more depicted by indentations in the ground in line with other
graves.

A WIRE decendant currently lives and owns the residence directly across the
road but was not willing to talk after I rudely parked in his driveway
without permission.  Appologies were sincerely extended for the intrusion.
