Here are some photographs I took of the McCormick Cemetery in Boyd Co., Eastern Kentucky, USA in the early morning of Labor Day, 1999.

I am particularly curious about the graves that have the notched footstones. Has anyone else seen these types of markers elsewhere?

Some of the names are:

Ferguson
Gard
Hammon
Higgins
Kouns/Kounts
Mead/Meade
Molsbarger
Moore
McCormick
McClelland
Rouse
Salmon
Sparks
Stidham
Triplett
Williams
Wheeler

There are modern burials on the northern perimeter of the cemetery.
