Cook Cemetery
Graves County, Kentucky, USA
The Cemetery named the "Cook Cemetery" is north of Boydsville on State line Road. It is a small Cemetery with a very elaborate wrought Iron fence which is painted white; near the edge of the road, but a deep ditch divides the road from the cemetery. It is assumed, without research, that this is the area where John Cook and his wife Margaret Ditterline settled on the state line road of Boydsville Community about 1820, before there were many other white settlers. There are only about twelve graves inside the fence; well kept farm land surrounds the Cemetery. A copper plate hanging on the gate entrance is engraved: "Herein lies the final remains of John and Margaret Ditterline Cook, and their son William Ditterline Cook and his two sons John Ewing and William Whitfield, and daughter Jane Clementine." It is said that Slaves for the family are buried outside the fence on the west side in unmarked gravesites.
