The Dils Cemetery in located at the mouth of Chloe Creek and the By-Pass Road in Pikeville, Kentucky. The property was purchased in 1871 by Colonel John Dils, Jr. as part of a larger tract that ran several miles up Chloe Creek. Later, Dils sold the property, excluding the cemetery from the deed. The property, previously owned by the Syck family, already contained the graves of his family. Colonel Dils set aside a space on top of the knoll for his own family to be buried and then with his and his descendants' permission, allowed others to be buried there.
The Dils Cemetery is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places as part of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud Historic District. Buried in the cemetery are Randolph McCoy (head of the McCoy clan), his wife Sarah, their daughter Roseanna (who ran away with Johnse Hatfield), their son Sam and his wife, Martha.
The cemetery is the first known cemetery in Eastern Kentucky to be intergrated. Colonel Dils let his freed slaves and their descendants be buried there.
