Gary,

Is this the same cemetery as the Rector Flats Cemetery? If so, there are two books in the Wayne Co., KY public library that might help you. They are both by Clarissa Ruth Barnes Smart. At least I think I have the name right. They are about the German people who settled in Wayne Co., KY (?) at Rector Flats. Many of them (100 or so?) died in a typhoid epidemic and are buried there in the Rector Flat Cemetery. They were the first or among the first burials there. One was William D. Rector, the first husband of Rebecca Owens, who later married Pleasant M. DeRossett of Clinton Co., KY. Rebecca and her 2nd husband were my husband's great-grandparents. William D. Rector was born Oct 17, 1844 and died at Rector Flat of typhoid fever on Sep 20, 1867. I've never visited the cemetery and don't know whether or not William has a marker. It seems to me that as many died in a short time there may not be markers for them.

I'll look up the title of the books if you need or want them.

I am currently looking for any person buried in the Rector Cemetery near
Static who does not have an inscribed tombstone. Does anyone on this
net know of any such individual? The site is along the State Line Road.
Rectors, Browns, Selbys, and Poes are just a few of the surnames I have
found. Our cemetery committee is interested in the cemetery. We hope to
preserve it and give it a good cleaning.
