Shelby County Cemeteries Volume II page 92
Corley-Neal Cemetery B-42 pg 92 of Shelby County Cemeteries Location: From Cropper Ky., travel east on Ky. 43 for .6 mile and turn left on the Shipman-Magruder Road. Drive northeast for 1.3 miles and turn right into the farm now owned by Linnie Shaw. The cemetery is about 1,000 feet due south of this point, and near the eastern fence line of a pasture.

CONDITION: The family cemetery is fenced on two sides but lies open on the south and west. As a result, most of the stones are down and a few are broken. The area occupied by the cemetery measures, 20’ x 20’. There are no trees in the area and the ground is covered by orchard grass. This survey was made on May 21, 1978
