The McCoy Gravesites

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here you see another cemetery...this one is final resting spot of Mr. Mccoy...his grave is inside this black fencing. His estranged daughter Rosanna buried alongside of him. His wife sara also buried here. Again, there were what seemed like 500 wooden steps climbing to the top of this resting place. Good exericise and so far no rain at all that was predicted. The actual Cemetery is named DILS CEMETERY after Colonel John Dils, Union 39th  Ky Mounted Infantry in te Civil War. He was noted as the wealthiest man in Pikeville at the time and this graveyard was on his porperty.
