Take Kentucky Hwy. 194 approx. 9.5 miles past John's Creek Community Center and on the right is a green iron gate and another building. This is private property owned by Bevins Branch Surface Mine (across Hwy. 194 on Bevins Branch Road)and permission must be given to enter. Go around the gate and up the steep hill and turn right and up that hill until you reach the cemetery on the left. New stones were added to the cemetery and are numbered per the memorial stone. If you take a left and go up that hill about 600 feet north you will reach the graves of Dr. H.C. Bevins and his wife Ann Bevins - see the memorial stone for the Bevins Cemetery placed in the 1970s.

"Mr. Bevins (Rev. Montraville Bevins) died on August 29, 1923, at the age of 76. He was pre-deceased by his wife (on January 20, 1898), and by one son and three of his daughters, as well as by two of his grandchildren. His three remaining sons are also deceased, the youngest having passed away in July 1955 (South Early Bevins). All, except one daughter (Leslie May Bevins Hurt) and her child (Edgar B. Hurt), are buried in or near the family burying ground at the old home place, which for many years has been known as the 'Mont Bevins Cemetery'. This cemetery is also the last resting place of many other earlier members of the Bevins and Lesley families, as well as many of their friends and neighbors."
