Graveyard in Front of Pavillion Hotel
This graveyard was located on the upper banks of the Licking River on the Robertson County side
of the river, across from Boone's cafe.
Only native stones marked these graves.
At one time J. W. Hunter rented this river bottom from F. B. Lindsay to raise watermelons.
In the spring Hunter told Steve Tolbert to pick up the loose rock on the field, assuming he could
tell the gravestones from the other. Tolbert knew nothing about a graveyard, and cleared all the stones,
throwing
them into the Licking River.
This field is now plowed and used for crops, as it has been for many years.
