Brawner Smith Cemetery
Also known as Smith Cemetery
Adair County, Kentucky, USA
Surnames: East, Edrington, Harmon, Hardwick, Miller, Montgomery, Murrell, Rubarts, Sherrill, Smith, Triplett, Vaughan, Wheat, Waggener, Wagner, Williams
From Columbia, KY, take Hwy 80 north to CR 551 (Knifely Road) to CR 501 (Pelly Lane). Take Pelly Lane about ¾ mile to the Wendell Taylor Road. Turn north onto the Wendell Taylor road and continue to a ‘Y' in the road. Take the left fork. Go about ¼ mile to the first ranch house on the north side. The Brawner Smith Cemetery is about 400 yards NNW of the farm house on the rise of the hill. Access is by the permission of the current landowner and 4 wheel drive or by foot.
Google Maps does still show a faint outline of the original cemetery. Multiple fences have been erected, but cattle have destroyed them. There are quite a few headstones knocked face down and those are too heavy to move without equipment. As of April, 2016 all available headstones were cataloged and uploaded to FAG. Some graves have fieldstone markers.
