Thanks to the Shelby County Historical Society, I was
finally able to get a name to all these Flat Rock Cemeteries. The Flat
Rock Cemetery opposite the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women at
the Shelby County line is the one that solely claims the name. There is
another transcription already done by Pat
Cannady (and posted here on
site) that includes those buried at the Flat Rock Christian Church
Cemetery a couple of miles up the road. Please email your coordinator if
you have any other names you would like to add to this listing or if you
have any questions. This compilation was derived from works by Pat
Cannady, the book "Cemeteries of Shelby County, Kentucky", and from an old
transcription found in the Oldham County Library entitled "Graveyards of
Jefferson County". The author of the latter, Bessie Taul Conkwright, 21 Nov 1933,
wrote "not at the present church, but opposite the Western State Hospital
for the Insane, Lakeland, on the Jefferson and Shelby County line." This
leaves me to believe the present prison property
once belonged to the hospital. Updated 081812. |
