APPEARANCE Incorporated by Act of the Kentucky Legislature on February 27, 1844, the Frankfort Cemetery became the second incorporated cemetery in the United States. In 1845 its size was increased by 32 acres when a section of land known as "Hunter's Garden" was added. Presently the Frankfort Cemetery encompasses approximately 100 acres. In 1847 the Frankfort Cemetery was chosen by the State Legislature as the ideal location for a military cemetery which would also be appropriate for burial of other distinguished Kentuckians. Located on a hill in Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, it was "found to be a spot of great beauty and remarkable for its commanding situation and romantic and picturesque scenery." A granite and Italian marble monument, commissioned by the Legislature and constructed in 1848 by Robert E. Launitz, was dedicated to the memory of soldiers who had died §r would die in defense of the United States. Located on a mound in the center of the cemetery, the monument consists of a granite base that is 20 feet square, with an eagle at each corner, and an Italian marble column that is crowned by the Statue of Victory. The mounument is 65 feet in height and weighs more than 150 tons. On one of the four sides of the monument the names of 84 officers who fell in battle safce iosc^ibed^^The^nionumeiiri^^erfclosed : by an iron fence to protect it from relic hunters. In 1951 the State commissioner Robert E. Launitz to erect a monument to the memory of Colonel Richarcl Mentor Johnson^ Vice-President of the United States. Although it has since been damaged by vandals and the elements, at the time this work was completed it was considered to be one of the most beautiful monumental structures in the United States. Resting on a granite base is an Italian marble shaft about 10 feet tall and 4 feet square. Carved oh the monument are: a goocl likeness of Colonel Johnson, a biographical inscription, and a scene showing Col. Johnson on horseback in the act of killing Tecumseh. The shaft has a flag of stars and stripes around the top, falling to one side and crowned with a large American eagle holding a laurel wreath. In 1892 the Daughters of the Confederacy erected a monument to the Confederate dead. Resting upon a granite base is a marble column that is topped by a life size statue of a Confederate soldier standing at parafle rest. In a circle around the monument are the graves of 68 Confederate soldiers. The monument to Governor William Goebel, who was assassinated in 1900, is a large block of solid granite surmounted by a bronze statue of Governor Goebel. - Continued - PERIOD (Check One or More as Appropriate) | | Pre-Columbian 1 Q 16th Century D 18th Century 20th Century n 15th Century D 17th Century ]X] 19th Century SPECIFIC DATE(S) (It Applicable andKnown) 1844* 1845 AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Check One or More as Appropriate) "Abor iginal [XI Education (Xl Political [| Urban Planning | | Prehistoric I I Engineering 1X]"Rellgi-Ori/Phr- " Q Other' (Specify) n Historic | | Industry Josophy | | 'Agriculture ! . r~| Invention Q] Science ffij Architecture 5TI Landscape (XI Sculpture D Art Architecture I | Social/Human­ |~| Commerce (X] Literature itarian [~| Communications IX] Military Q Theater [~~| Conservation D Music Q] Transportation STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Frankfort Cemetery, the second incorporated cemetery in the United States, is the final resting place of many, of Kentucky's most distinguished native sons - including a Vice-president of the United States, ana Associate Justice' ' ' of' ~ • the^~^ U,S,. * - "j I M Supreme/ _, I - f * f f 1' • * *' Court, members of the Presidents' cabinets, Governors, U.S. Senators and Representatives, Ministers to foreign countries, high state officials, pioneers, artists, poets, educators ministers, a sculptor, and officers and soldiers who died in defense of the United States. In 1847 the Kentucky Legislature passed a resolution appointing a committe to find a suitable location for a military cemetery which would also be appropriate for burial of other distinguished Kentuckians. The Frankfort Cemetery, located on a hill overlooking the Capital city, was "found to be a spot of great beauty and remarkable for its commanding situation and romantic and picturesque scenery." ( ,In 1848 Robert E. Launitz of New York was commissioned to design a granite and Italian marble monument and erect it on a mound in the center of tlie cemetery. This imposing monument was dedicated to the memory of officers and soldiers who had died or might in the future,die in defense of their country. The Frankfort Cemetery is enriched by other sculptures by Robert E. Launitz. These include the finely-proportioned William T. Herndon obelisk and monuments to Governor Robert P. Letcher, Vice-President Richard M. Johnson, and others. Daniel Boone's grave probably attracts more visitors to the Frankfort Cemetery than all of the other famous Kentuckians combined. At the 1844- 1845 session of the Kentucky Legislature, 25 years after Boone's death, measures were adopted to have Daniel and Rebecca Boone's remains brought from Missouri to the Frankfort Cemetery. In A History Of Kentucky, William B. Alien stated that "an immense concourse of citizens from all parts of the state were present on the occasion, and the cere­ monies were deeply impressive. The hearse, decorated with evergreens and flowers, and drawn by four white horses, occupied a position assigned in the line....

  • Maddeson Generations
    Maddeson Lines - First Generation -------------------------------------------------- 1. Isaac Maddeson. Born in 1590 in London, England (historically Scotland). Isaac died in West Sherlow, Virginia, in 1624; he was 34. A descendant of Edward I of England. Encyclopedia of Virginia biography, under the editorial supervision of Lyon Tyler. (edited by Lyon Gardiner Tyler) Isaac Maddeson, came to Virginia in 1608, only a year after the founding of Jamestown, and was employed in exploring the country and probably in making maps, etc. He went to England in 1620 and while there, on July 10, 1621, the Virginia Company, in recognition of his services in the colony, presented him with two shares in the company. He seems to have returned to Virginia shortly, for immediately after the massacre of 1622, we find him actively employed against the Indians and becoming one of the best known soldiers of the colony. About the first of July, 1622, the governor sent Capt. Isaac Maddeson with thirty odd men to the Patomac, where it was thought corn could be purchased from the friendly Indians and a possible alliance with them be formed against the hostile tribes. Maddeson conducted the affair very badly, and, notwithstanding orders to the contrary was soon at odds with the well-disposed savages. He was led into this by tales of a conspiracy on the part of the Indians, which though quite unfounded, moved him into an indefensible treachery against them whereby he captured the chief and his son and killed many of their unfortunate tribesmen. The captives were finally ransomed for a quantity of corn.

  • Notes on the Political Club of Danville and Its Members
    THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY VOL. 35 LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, OCTOBER• 1961 No. 4 NOTES ON THE POLITICAL CLUB OF DANVILLE AND ITS MEMBERS BY ANN PRICE (MRS. SYDNEY S.) COMBS Lexington, Kentucky A paper read before The Filson Club, June 6, 1960 Twelve years after the founding of Harrod's Station, the first per- manent English settlement in Kentucky, on the night of December 27, 1786, a small group of distinguished gentlemen met at the Dan- ville, Kentucky home of Samuel McDowell. He and Harry Innes, John Brown, Thomas Todd, Robert Craddock, Chris. Greenup, and John Belli "Resolved, that the persons now present do form them- selves into a society to be hereafter distinguished and known by the style and title of 'The Political Club,' to be governed by such laws and regulations as shall be hereafter agreed on" and to be "insti- tuted for the purpose of acquiring political knowledge."1 Such was the modest beginning of an unusually intriguing and ex- traordinary society! A political club composed of 25 to 30 men, meeting once a week to debate specified subjects. What is so unusual or fascinating about that? Schools, colleges, life in the great wide world, are full of myriad just such groups--investment clubs, debating clubs, clubs with a politi- cal connotation--we, today, are constantly hearing about them, going to them, reading about them. What sets this particular club apart, makes it worth investigating, and gives it an aura all its own? First of all, there is the work this club did. The importance of The Political Club of Danville lay in the training of its members for the role they played in the creation of the state of Kentucky.

  • Three Centuries of Southern Poetry
    THREE CENTURIES OF Southern Poetry (1607-1907) CARL HOLLIDAY, M.A. Professor of English Literature, Cox College, Atlanta. Author of A History of Southern Literature^ The Cotton- Picker and Other Poems, Etc. Nashville, Tenn.; Dallas, Tex. Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South Smith & Lamar, Agents Copyright, 1908, BY Smith & Lamar. "hat most pleasant of men lnd most zealous of teachers, ir. (Eljarbfi HiUimn KfttJ PREFACE. Within the last decade the interest in Southern literature has become widespread. Nearly every Southern college and university now offers a course in the subject, and the summer schools and Chautauquas frequently make it a special feature. All this is as it should be. There nre Southern writers scarce- ly known by name to-day who are deserving of careful atten- tion. Especially is this true among the Southern poets, who, amidst prosperity and adversity, have sung songs of gladness and of sorrow that stand among the finest productions in American literature. How few of them are intimately, lov- ingly known at the present day! This collection is made in the hope that still further in- terest may be aroused. Other collections have been made, but they have dealt almost entirely with the poets living in the first sixty years of the nineteenth century. In the present compilation specimens are given from three centuries of Southern verse—from 1607 to 1907. Because of this fact the book, it is hoped, will be of interest not only to students of literature, but also to students of history and to lovers of the old and curious in general.

  • National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form
    Form No. 10-300a (Rev. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM Historic Resources of Ashland CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8_____PAGE 3______________________ BATH AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT Statement of Significance Since the inception of the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company's plan for Ashland, western Bath Avenue has been considered to be the city's most prestigious residential neighborhood. The first two houses on the street were built in 1855-56 by Hugh and John Means, prominent Ohio iron industrialists who moved to Ashland in conjunction with the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company. Through the early twentieth century, property on the street was essentially reserved for local industry owners and managers who were related by family or business connections. Multiple lots continued to be held by families, and only one or two houses occupied each block in 1877, according to the Titus, Simmons Atlas map of Ashland. As a result of the slow development of the street, the neighborhood is now characterized by a diversity of architectural styles that is not seen elsewhere in Ashland. Although the neighborhood previously extended for six blocks along Bath Avenue, large-scale commercial development in the 1200 block has severed the western end of the street, and reduced the length of the coherent neighborhood to four blocks. Therefore the National Register boundary has not been extended beyond 13th Street.
