Frankfort Cemetery

[Sheltowee]

A cold, dreary day in the Bluegrass. Was in the area, so I made a stop in the Frankfort Cemetery.
I was only able to spare a few minutes…..a shame, as there is a lot to see. It's not much, but I'll share what I stumbled across in my 40 minutes. Maybe I can add to this later on.

Robert Letcher. 15th governor of Kentucky

The real Sheltowee- Daniel Boone. Is ol' Dan'l really buried here?

Gen.Thompson Flournoy. Ky born Arkansas planter. Organized the 1st Arkansas Infantry- died shortly afterwards. Have no idea on the "General" title?
(Capital dome with scaffolding in distance)

Capt. Benjamin J. Monroe

Maj. Thomas B. Monroe

Theodore O'Hara. Ky- born Lt. Col.of 12th Alabama Inf. Staff officer under A.S. Johnston and Breckenridge. Authored "Bivouac of the Dead".

Kentucky War Memorial- pre Civil War

I snapped a number of photos of the 22nd Kentucky men laid to rest there.

Boone's grave was vandalized during the war by Yankee soldiers.

I've never been to Frankfort. I should go this week or next. Don't know how that will work out but there's always later in the summer.

Been to Frankfort many times over the years but never the Cemetery. Thanks for photos.
