Blue Lick Pavillion Hotel Graveyard
Little is known about this graveyard, except that one existed there.
According to Mrs. Hattie Sampson, two children that she knew were buried there.
One was the sister of Myles A. Hughes, the other the sister of William J. Overley.
At one time there was a step at the end entrance of the hotel that was said to be a tombstone
slab. It was overturned and no name or date were visible.
According to Mrs Luzern Purcell, her grandfather Aquilla Hildreth told her that there was a
graveyard in this yard; that there were several graves and several markers
When the Shufly was contemplated, some men cleared the stones, scrapped the ground level and
had a dance over the graves that night, then they soon began building the dance hall and had dances regularly.
