JOBE (SHADY GROVE) CEMETERY Surveyed by Regina Diamond Tackett (submitted by Earl Jobe) Located at Shady Grove (Upper Twin Branch) in Lawrence County, Ky. This was originally called the Jobe Cemetery but in later years has been referred to at times as the Shady Grove because of its location. Info in parenthesis from other sources. Copied 1980. Updated October 1999 by Regina Diamond Tackett, great granddaughter of Cordelia Chaffin Jobe and great-great granddaughter of Elisha W. and Jane Sergent Jobe, all buried here. Listing was not done in alphabetical order, but as copied, leaving family units together when possible. Many graves in the center of this cemetery are marked with cement blocks which had recently replaced the old field stones. This is probably the older part of the cemetery and has the oldest Jobe ancestors here. LAURANNE E.
