Stansifer-Utz Cemetery

Located on the Swim Club Road
Union, Boone County, Kentucky

Take US 42 south to right on Mt. Zion Road (State Route 536). At the traffic light turn left onto Old Union Road for about 1/8 mile. Turn right into the Union Swim Club and park in their parking lot. The Swim Club faces the cemetery which is down over the hill.

Beautiful little cemetery with the rock wall around it, nestled in a grove of trees. The stones on the inside of the wall are all over-turned except for one.

These headstones are in good shape, they are located behind the stone wall.
