Joseph and Sarah Hammond are buried at Beech Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Shelby County, KY in above ground vaults. The church burned and has been gone many years, the cemetery is difficult to find and navigate. Family history that "Old Joe" didn't want to go to hell so he arranged to be cemented in the concrete vault above the ground. Several years later a man came by and went into town telling everybody the Vault had cracked and flies were going in and out. When people went to check there was a black snake had crawled on top and died.
