Argillite, Kentucky
By CarolynHines Smith
Thisis the cemetery of my Great Grandparents, David Crockett Fraley and Malinda“Linda” Barker Fraley. The Cemetery is up on the hill from the site of wheretheir old home place once was. It’s off Culp Road going southeast out ofArgillite KY. The lane that leads up to the cemetery iscalled Fraley Cemetery Road now and is fairly difficult to locate if you don’tknow just where to look. Culp Creek takes a sharp turn right there and runsalong the lane.There is a marker at the road but itis low to the ground and can get covered by growth in the summer. This list iscomplete as of August 2003 but the cemetery is still receiving burialsaccording to posting filed at the Greenup County Library. 17 graves total.There are no unmarked graves. All tombstones are clearly marked. The graveyardis privately maintained.
