Valley of Rest Cemetery, LaGrange, Kentucky

The Valley of Rest Cemetery sits directly within the center of LaGrange, Kentucky.   It is the largest cemetery in the county in the number of burials.  The photos submitted here is an attempt to list as many burials as possible.   The cemetery has one groundskeeper who maintains the beauty of the cemetery.   This person does not have a listing of burials found here, even though he may recall where a particular stone may sit within the grounds.  He can be found on the grounds almost daily.  The person who has complete graveyard data and burial locations is a gentleman by the name of Ollie Howard.   He is around LaGrange, but is not usually at the cemetery regularly.  The number last given me for him is 502-222-1877.  If you have questions regarding an ancestor, please contact Mr. Howard.   Any other questions you may have can be directed to your county coordinator to try and find an answer for you.
