Hamilton/Chambers Cemetery

Located on Richmond Road
Union, Boone County, Kentucky

Take US 42 south to left on Braxton Drive (between Kroger's and the Library). Travel down Braxton for .5 miles and then turn right on Richmond. Travel down Richmond for .4 miles and the cemetery is on the right.

I counted about 19 graves in this cemetery. Some have headstones on the graves, some stones are leaning up against a tree, and some are only marked with a surveyor's stick and a small rock.

This picture was taken from the rear of the cemetery to the front facing the left side.
