From the 23 South bypass of Paintsville, take the 825 West exit to Riceville. You will travel
about seven miles staying on 825 until you get to the Riceville exit to the left and crossing
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway tracks onto Riceville Road. It will take you from 825 on past
the little area of Riceville. Stay on Riceville Road and continue on up the paved, one laned
road up the hollow of Long Fork. The road is named Riceville Road, but we always called it
“going up Long Fork.” The creek you travel by is the Long Fork of Jenny’s Creek. You will
continue on up the road past Brushy Branch and Fitch Lick. After traveling about 2.5 miles up
Riceville Road, you will pass on the left a little cemetery that is the Sanford Collins/Oliver
Collins Cemetery. (Please see the document on the Sanford Collins/Oliver Collins Cemetery)
About a quarter to a half a mile on up Riceville Road you will see another small “newer”
cemetery to the left by the road near the bottom of the hill. That is the Johnnie Collins
Cemetery.
