Union Rice Cemetery

Located on Mt. Zion Road
Union, Boone County, Kentucky

In 2004, DHL began construction of a new Hub off Mt. Zion Road. Located on the construction site was the Lewis Rice Cemetry. This cemetery was in poor condition and a decision was made to move the buriels to the Union Rice Cemetery. This is a picture of those headstones in their new resting place. The individual headstones and stone detail can be found on the page for the R surnames.
