Woods Cemetery

Contributed by Olene (Woods) Bailey and Oleta (Woods) Morgan

This information was sent to me by Olene Bailey

This cemetery is located beside the Hyden Spur Exit, about one-fourth mile from the toll gate which is located on the Daniel Boone Parkway, Leslie County, Kentucky. This cemetery is in two sections. Before the building of the Parkway, the old road passed through the cemetery, leaving one section higher upon the hillside.
