Location	:	Asher, Leslie County, USA
Description	:	Cemetery is not more than .2 mile from US 421 (you can see that highway from the cemetery), but it's very difficult to reach. There used to be a foot path from the house on Blaze Branch, but it has been obliterated by a landslide. There are gravel coal haul roads to the top of the mountain from KY 2009 (Greasy Creek Road) and Frontier Drive off US 421.

Read More	Cemetery is not more than .2 mile from US 421 (you can see that highway from the cemetery), but it's very difficult to reach. There used to be a foot path from the house on Blaze Branch, but it has been obliterated by a landslide. There are gravel coal haul roads to the top of the mountain from KY 2009 (Greasy Creek Road) and Frontier Drive off US 421. (Frontier Drive is named for the coal company that took the top off the mountain.)Those roads are becoming overgrown with small trees. They may be passable with a four wheeler, but not a large motor vehicle. The gates across those roads are usually locked. The sure way up is to walk. It's a fairly stenuous climb of about a mile. The two roads meet near the top of the mountain. From there go about 100 feet up a small incline and you will see a vast flat where strip miners have taken the top off the mountain. It is becoming overgrown with scrub vegetation. To the left is a spectacular view of Greasy Creek winding for miles in the distance. Cemetery is in the clump of trees to the right about 1/4 mile distant. Once you find a metal deer stand, the cemetery is about 50 feet to the south (toward 421) of you but may be very difficult to see in the undergrowth. When visited about 2001, the area had been burned over by a forest fire the previous Fall and the cemetery was exposed. There are 30 graves arranged in 3 neat rows. Only three (as noted) have engraving. Some of the other people buried here are known from the personal knowlege of several old-timers, notably Boyd Howard, Mona Howard Baker and Ophie Howard Shell. When visited about 2008 the cemetery was totally over grown. It's unwise to attempt a walk up to it in the heat of the day or late in the day. If you loose light, you will be stranded on the mountian overnight. This is one of the highest points in Leslie County. You may encounter elk, wild turkeys or red wolves.
