Shutt Cemetery
Contributed by Randy Pritchett
Location
Shutt Cemetery is located in Muhlenberg County on Highway 181 near mile marker 1 and is about 0.9 mile from the Todd/Muhlenberg County Line.
Information provided in brackets [ ] comes from the Muhlenberg County, Kentucky Cemeteries Books compiled by Marian G. Hammers. The discrepancy between the new transcription and the Hammers information highlights the decay of this cemetery over time. In a little under 30 years, about a quarter of the stones and markers copied in the Cemeteries Books have become unreadable.
