WARREN COUNTY CEMETERY DOCUMENTATION PROJECT UPDATE

Phase I of the Warren County Cemetery Documentation Project has been completed but there are still many, many more cemeteries to find and document. During Phase I, thirty volunteers were trained and fi ve volunteers completed full documentation of thirty cemeteri es. In addition, twenty-five cemeteries that were partially documented as part of earlier projects were added to the database. Full documentation included black-and-white and digital photographs, general information about each cemetery including GPS points, size, and condition, and information about each individual monument such as inscription, design and size. Phase I of the project was made possible with a grant from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior, administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council . Phase II will begin this fall. Interested volunteers or persons with information about unmapped cemeteries should contact Robin Zeigler at 270-842-1 953 or [email protected].

The Greencastle cemetery in Richardsville is just one of the cemeteries they documen ted. I t is roughly 75' x 45' and has twel ve discernable graves with fi ve readable markers. All of the monuments are limestone tablet style markers with engraved inscriptions but no symbolism. Three of the five graves have existing foot stones. All the graves fa ce east.

The minutes of the Home Literary Society were submitted by Sue Spurlock (537 L. C. Carr Road, Bowling Green, Kentucky, 42101). The minutes had been in the possession of the K. p, Sutton estate. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bland Whitson were involved in the settling of the Sutton estate many years ago. At that time, no one was really interested in "old papers and documents". Mrs. Spurlock's mother, Bessie (Nash) Williams, was a school teacher and collected historic papers. Mrs. Whitson gave her several of these old documents that had been in the Sutton estate instead of their being thrown away. Mrs. Spurlock has graciously allowed The Longhunter to publish some of this material from her mother's collection, including the current minutes.

The ledger containing the minutes of the Home Literary Society measures 8 inches by 10 inches and is a typical ledger composition book of the period. It contains lined paper. Not all of the pages are filled in. None ofthem are numbered. The page numbers assigned below represent only those pages with writing. The spelling and punctuation from the original document have been retained.

The editor, Gail Miller, became interested in the identities of the women who attended this society as she typed their minutes. The introduction detailing the ladies of the SOCiety was written by Gail Jackson Miller (425 Midcrest Drive, Bowling Green, Kentucky, 42101).
