The Parker Cemetery is located on Square Lick on a point over-looking the Square Lick Road. 
 To get there from Olive Hill, Kentucky you will travel up Road #896 commonly called Airport 
Road or Ben's Run Road by the Oldsters.  You proceed two miles up #896 from the four-way 
stop in Olive Hill.  There is a narrow, black-topped road to your left across a low-water 
bridge that goes over Ben's Run Branch.  Turn left up this road keeping to the black-top for 
a distance of 1.4 miles.  You have come a total distance of 3.4 miles from Olive Hill.  
There is a large iron gate to your left that is locked and a no trepassing is tacked high on 
the gatepost. It is best to go on up the road a short distance to a nice brick house where 
Johnnie Jordan, the owner of the property, resides and get permission to go to the cemetery. 
 After getting permission to enter go through this gate and down a "cow-path road" to the 
highest point in front of you.  This is the Parker Cemetery that contains the following 
graves.
