PARIS CEMETERY Grayson County, Kentucky (not to be confused with Paris Cemetery, Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky) Coordinates Coming Soon Preface "When the last trumpet Wakes the land and the sea, And the tombs of the earth Set the prisoners free, You may all go aloft if you choose But, for me...I think I'll just stay in KENTUCKY!" Some of my ancestors are buried in this cemetery. My Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Great, Great-Grandfather and many of their kin were born in Kentucky. You can move away, but you can't pull up roots like that. To reach the cemetery, begin at the only caution light in Clarkson, Grayson County. Drive 3 ½ miles East on Hwy 224, taking the overpass over the Western Kentucky Parkway. Turn right, or South, on the Rock Creek Road, hwy 3210 (formerly Oak Grove road), and travel 3 ½ miles passing the Oak Grove Church. Take a left, or East on Fragrant Road (gravel), and go about .2 miles until you reach the J. C. Hodges Farm, the first place on Fragrant road. From the front of the barn, walk Northeast on the dirt road through the cornfield about 500-600 feet, to the top of the hill. The cemetery is on the left hand side. It is well fenced, but may be overgrown depending on how long it has been since anyone trimmed the grasses and surrounding vegetation. The smell of wildflowers is here.
