          Joyce, I did not see this marker (although it is not a flag holder) on your site.  It is also listed in "XXXX County, Kentucky - A Pictorial History" as the only one known of it's kind.  The above referenced is found on the grave of A.D. Ruff in the XXXXX, Kentucky cemetery.  Mr. Ruff's claim to fame is that fact that he rode his bicycle from Richmond, Kentucky to Yellowstone and back.

Regards
David Owings
(Note from Joyce: I am not including the name of the cemetery for reasons of security to this unique cemetery memorabilia)
