NICKELL Cemetery,
Land Between the Lakes, KY

I searched for this listing for 4 years and suddenly Jeff Murphy, who started the U.S. Web Genealogy in 1996, found an old xerox copy and sent it to me. Phil Nickell, of Mesilla, NM, found the USGS plat map and the individual grave site number index. It was a priceless find, I hope this listing proves helpful to someone.
