Location
Fortney Cemetery is in the middle of strip mining south of Central City.
According to Kentucky Department of Transportation Local Roads map, Kentucky Route 1081 (Stringtown Road) should take you to both Stewart Cemetery and Fortney Cemetery. But the easiest access to the cemeteries may be the mine entrance off US Route 62 West about ½ mile west of Walmart Supercenter.
