Hill Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Edmonson Co., Ky


When Nolin Reservoir Lake was being formed in 1961, many old cemeteries were relocated to Hill Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. Each grave was given a marble marker with a number inscribed on it. If Army Corps of Engineers was able to identify the individual, it was recorded. I have listed all information which was recorded by them. Some names are duplicated, as they were originally in another cemetery. The left hand column either says Hill Grove, or has a number. The numbers relate to these cemeteries, from which they were originally buried at.

The original old cemeteries were - Old Thompson (#107 - 115)   Decker (#116 - 137)   Vanmeter (#138 - 152)   Hicks #1(#155)  Hicks #2 (#183 - 184)   Davis (#156 - 215)   Hughes (#220 - 226)   Heath Alvey (#227 - 232)   Russell Alvey (#234) & Meredith (not listed)
