Wireman Cemetery
Estill County, Kentucky
“Nestled among the trees in the quiet hills of Estill County lies Wireman Cemetery—a place where the moss grows thick on stones and stories rest in silence...”Here are the roots of my people: great-grandparents, great-greats, and kin long passed. Through headstones, faded photographs, and timeworn documents, we remember not just names—but lives lived with grit, grace, and sometimes mystery. Every soul laid to rest here shaped a piece of our history, whether whispered in family tales or unearthed through quiet research."
