Gravestone Photographs

The Bickett-Richards Cemetery is on the east side of Riverside Drive (US-33) about a block and a half south of Fishinger Rd. and behind a business establishment.  It is abandoned and has suffered from the years, neglect, and vandals.  Most of the stones are broken off at ground level; some are almost buried.  What care it gets is done by Ashland Oil Co.  Graves at the center of the cemetery before restoration was completed by volunteers for Operation Flag in April 2003.
