Boyle County
|
| Located
on left 1/2 mile down Worldstown Road off KY-300, at the crest of a
small hill to the west of a small pond. Other names for the cemetery are
World Town and Worlds Town. It is also known as the "Baker
Cemetery." In late 1800s and early 1900s, several African Americans
named WORLS from Junction City were married, and it is possible that the
area where they lived came to be called Worlstown, later Worldstown. In
the mid 20th Century, it was a predominantly African American community.
Much of the cemetery has been destroyed, with gravestones and even
actual caskets being bulldozed over the years. The area has many
depressions without markers, and there are undoubtedly other markers
left to be located.
