Katherine Rachford Will written 21 August 1865; Proved 9 Mar 1871, LaRue Co., KY.

Catherine was a member of the Baptist Church for 34 years according to the listing of "Larue County, Kentucky Cemeteries" by Edward Benningfield published by McDowell Publications in 1982. She is buried in the Grimes Family Cemetery located in Hibernia, Kentucky just south of the Bethel Baptist Church on the Thomas Walters farm. The cemetery dates to the 1830's. The cemetery is in poor repair and many of the headstones unreadable. (Ron Grimes ancestry.com)

I personally visited the cemetery April 2013 and it is in very poor condition, located in a briar patch cornfield. Only three stones were readable at this time. Many stones displaced and tipped. It is on the LaRue/Taylor County border. Hibernia no longer exists due to a new road. Directions to the cemetery from Hodgenville, KY take Hwy 210 towards Campbellsville, left on CR1390 (Attilla Road), left on Levelwoods Road (Bethel Church is on this road), left on Walters Lane, the cemetery is about 1/4 mile on right hand side of the road in a wooded berry patch about 400 feet off the road. The road ends at a gate. (Colleen Lockwood 2013)
