Individual Details

"Pleasant Home Cemetery - This is a very old community cemetery with burials at least as early as 1826. It is about one acre in size and located in Pleasant Home Kentucky. It is situated along a gravel road about .1 mile from Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church on Highway 22. Until recent years this cemetery was so overgrown as to not be visible along the gravel road by it. My grandfather believed that his grandparents were probably buried here, although they both died before he was born. He and I went there and searched for their stones many years ago. At that time it was much like a jungle and my grandfather suggested that we come back with pruning shears and a billy goat. Years later we did find some Marston stones there. The Marston Plot is about 47 yards from the road and 20 yards from the West fence. Other stones in the vicinity are those of M. E. Stonestreet and J. T. Kemper. The stones of John W. and Laura Marston were lying flat and the stone of Sarah Kemper Marston was leaning. Between the stone of Laura and Sarah is a gravesite marked with upright fieldstones for head and foot stones. This undoubtedly is the grave of Cyrus W. Marston, husband of Sarah and father of Laura Marston." (Barry L. Marston Frankfort, Kentucky, 2006.)
