There are two ways to get to the Sunset Cemetery. The easiest way is harder to describe so I will tell you the other:

On Rt 23 at Greenup you will find a road between the Greenup County Health Dept. and the Greenup Church of God. Coming from Ashland you will turn left on that road. It goes behind the Health Dept. , go about 1/4 mile or less and the Riverside Cemetery will be on your right. Go through the gates of this cemetery to the top of the hill. The road tees there and you need to turn right. It turns into a gravel road (you can drive it easily) that drops down the hill, at the bottom of the hill you will see another cemetery. This is Sunset Cemetery. (When you leave take the other way and you'll see you come out right on Rt. 23 near where you started. This is the easiest way, but harder to describe from Rt. 23).

In this cemetery are the following graves plus many which I did not think we needed:

A Large Family Plot Stone with Bays & Anderson on it.

Smaller stones read:

William L. Bays Daisy D. Bays Jennie B. Stewart
1861-1959 1876-1959 1900-1979


W. Hobart Anderson Edna B. Anderson Wade Anderson

William L. Bays Velma Nelson
U.S. Army WWII 1920-1978

There were Stewarts there but not Nancy Bays Stewart.

There was a stone away from the Bays area for:
Amanda Biggs Rice
1830-1898
This was in the Seaton section. I only wrote it down because of the Biggs name.




The second cemetery was the Smith Branch Cemetery.

Follow Rt 23 through Greenup heading toward Lloyd,Ky. The 3rd road on the right past the stoplight at Rt 2 is Smith's Branch (no road sign). There is a building on the right of Rt.23 with a few tank trucks Smith's Branch is on the left side of Rt. 23.
So, turn left off Rt. 23 onto Smith's Branch Road within 75 feet you will be forced to turn. Turn to your left, go another 150 feet and you will turn right, Little Rosa Baptist Church will be on your left soon after you have made this last turn. Continue on the blacktop road for exactly 2 miles. You will see a horse corral and a brown block building that has been converted into a house on your right.( The cemetery is visible from the blacktop road, look to your right on top the hill about
45 degrees to the right) Turn here onto the gravel road to the cemetery. ( You will have to open the gate at the top of the hill and then you will have room to turn around, the road is in good condition).

Here I found the following graves plus many others that do not apply to us:
