Wolcott, dated 19 June 1967, available at the Covington, Kentucky, branch of the Kenton County Public Library, tombstones from the Casey Cemetery are mentioned. Four tombstones are listed (same number recorded in Small Kenton County, Kentucky, Cemeteries). One is for John R. Casey. One is for Elbert R. Casey. The other two are recorded as follows:
Lee Tuers (?)
Born July 20, 1842
Died August (?), 18?

Sacred to the memory of
