Walnut Grove Church of Christ Cemetery, Union Co., KY

Walnut Grove Church of Christ Cemetery, Union Co., KY
(with photos)

Located in the Boxville area. This is a small, but neat country church cemetery. I visited this cemetery on 17 July 2001, a day that was in the mid 90's, but yet here at the cemetery, a nice breeze was blowing. Besides liking the area, I do have a personal interest with this cemetery. I have Owens relatives buried here.

There are only 82 stones/photo in this cemetery. I did have 2 photos that messed up on me. They were by Elijah Shelton and Thomas Whitledge. I have no idea if it was 2 stones, or views of the cemetery, or close ups of a hard to read stone. Of the readable stones, the earliest birth on a tombstone is for Julia Holeman 1847 - 1906. The earliest burial on a tombstone is for a Whitledge 1877 - 1884. This cemetery is still in use today, with the lastet burial in 2001.

Please let me know of any corrections. I will also include, if you let Maria Troutman know, any known burials that have no markers, or any other interesting info you have on this cemetery.
