Sallie Poer Graveyard


Sallie Poer Graveyard is a historic family cemetery located along Burton Williams Road in northern Estill County, Kentucky. The cemetery lies in the Cressy area, not far from the Red River and the Clark County line. Historical records most often identify the burial ground as Sallie Poer Graveyard, although the name Sallie Poer Cemetery also appears in some records. At least one obituary describes the cemetery as being near Vienna, a community located across the Red River in neighboring Clark County. Such descriptions offer a glimpse into how local families identified places by nearby communities and familiar landmarks rather than by modern mailing addresses or county boundaries. The cemetery contains members of the Poer family as well as other families connected with the surrounding community. This page has been compiled from death records, obituaries, newspapers, cemetery records, and other historical sources in an effort to document the people known or believed to have been laid to rest here. Research into Sallie Poer Graveyard is ongoing, and additional burials and historical information will be added as records are discovered.
