WILLIAMSON of Lebanon, Ky Date Of Burial: February 9, 1944 Place Of Burial: Askin, Ky Date Recorded: February 14, 1944 Source Of Record: Death Certificate, Jefferson County, Ky 1944 Certificate No.: #04371 Death certificate says Della was in the community where she died for 7 days. Submitted by: Peggy Russell meemawpeg7@gmail.com Additional Comments: I am sure the funeral homes of Louisville was not familiar with the cemeteries around the area where Breckinridge, Ohio, and Hancock county's lines meet. Askins, Rockvale, and Vanzant in Breckinridge County were in this area. I know Della's death certificate gives Askins as the place of her burial (also where she lived), but I believe she was buried at the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery located up on Tick's Ridge, Rockvale. Della's mother and little infant brother are there. Her father, Ira Lee WILLIAMSON died years later in 1969, and is buried at the Fordsville Cemetery in Ohio County. Fordsville is also close to these little villages. It is a thought, but I know we will never know for sure. Ancestry.com's Database: Kentucky, Birth Index, 1911 - 1999: Della C.
