BLAKEMORE CEMETERY

BLAKEMORE CEMETERY

This cemetery is located on the farm formerly owned by the Blakemore family.

J.L. Blakemore and Daniel Crafton were early settlers of the area of what

later would become Humboldt. It is located west of the Hwy. 45 Bypass and

also west of the new National Armory. It is in the middle of a field. There

is currently a factory being built on the old Blakemore land and the cemetery

adjoins its property lines. It is south of Route 152. The original recording

was done by Mrs. Annie Laurie James. I recently did an update of the cemetery

and found two more stones. The cemetery is badly overgrown. There are still

many descendants of the Blakemore's in this area today.
