Unknown Cemetery, (Waller-Omer Rd) Union Co., KY
(with photos)

This cemetery is located on Waller - Omer Rd. Coming from the Grangertown area, turn onto Waller Omer Road, and right after you cross where the railroad tracks used to be, it is on your right. It is less than a mile down the road. It is hard to see, as it's overgrown somewhat. I'm told that this is a Colored Cemetery and that there are more graves here. I honestly do not know if that is true or not. I could only locate 5 stones with names on them, 2 more areas that were graves, and I saw nothing else. Perhaps in the winter more can be seen?

Names listed here are only for readable tombstones in this cemetery. Please click on the name to view the stone and full dates. If you know the name of this cemetery, please let Maria Troutman know. I welcome any corrections or additions.
