To keep you all up to date on what's going on with the issue of restoration at Park-Miller Cemetery on the EKU Farm, here is a letter sent to me from the Vice President of EKU Administrative Affairs and my response: Mr. Whitlock, Thank you for your note.  I appreciate your response and concern.  It was never my intention to blindside anyone, Sir.  Infact, myself and my cousin, Rev.  Erwin Ray, Jr. of Oakland, KY, have written the President of EKU, bringing to his attention, our deep concern regarding the overgrowth and damage to the fence, as well as the "headstones and monuments " of our ancestors within Park-Miller Cemetery.  Erwin's letter was sent most recently on 21 May 2001.  The fence had been down and cattle had been trampling the stones on an almost daily basis, since at least the Summer of 2000, when I first visited this family burial ground.  Farm personnel were made aware of this problem during our visit there, if not beforehand. I sincerely appreciate the repair of the fence and clearing of the ground there as the overgrowth was thick and well out of control.  While these measures prevent any "further" damage, they do not address the most critical and  heartbreaking concern.  Specifically, the precious contents within--my ancestors' tombstones.  Despite being unusually well-preserved, including their structural composition and clear legibility--they were knocked down, broken in two, or in some cases, badly crushed, by the ever-increasing flow of cattle through this small area of land.  In particular, the beautiful stones of Madison County's respected religious figure and historian, Rev. John Mills Park (1806-1877) and his wife, Martha Bullock Oldham (1812-1851)--grandson to my Kentucky Pioneer 5th Great Grandparents, Ebenezer Park (1747-1839) and Tabitha Mills (1752-1826), who helped forge the land that is the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky today.  The desecration of their sacred burial ground, stands against everything my ancestors (and yours) lived, fought, and died for as founding fathers and Kentuckians.  As a family historian, I have the utmost respect for my family, my state, and educational institutions, such as EKU.  But, words cannot begin to describe how violated the sight of this carnage made me and the rest of my family feel.  And my father, 72-years young, and an EKU-grad, was particularly saddened.  Mr. Whitlock, I can assure you, that this damage was not short-term, but a byproduct of many months, possibly years of neglect.  And this is readily apparent to anyone who has personally visited this site.  So, my question is this:  Who is responsible for resurrecting and repairing the stones that have been damaged?  As long as I am living, I will not have peace, while my ancestors lie, with their gravestones shattered and in their current state of disarray.  Something must be done. As you ponder this question, I also ask you consider that part of the land that EKU has enjoyed throughout their history and today, was my John and Martha's family farm, yesteryear.  So, can't EKU find a way to provide them with the respect and dignity they deserve, by at the very least, restoring their tombstones and place of burial?  This, the place where their children placed their bodies and mourned their deaths 151 and 125 years-ago, respectively.  What can I do to help and also to make sure that this does not happen again?  Finally, you might be pleased to know, that Hume-Duncan Cemetery, where some of our other ancestors are just 75 yards away (1700s) across the field from Park-Miller Cemetery on the EKU Farm, is well-protected, away from the threat of meandering cattle, and in excellent condition.  For this, I thank you and the EKU Community from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to your response. Respectfully, William D. Park Kentucky Colonel 104 Rodeo Dr. Hurricane, WV  255526 (304) 562-4412 At 10:01 AM 3/13/2002 -0500, you wrote: >Mr. Park: > >A few individuals have called to our attention some information in a letter you recently posted to the Kentucky Cemeteries list serve.   I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some information. > >University farms have been part of my area of responsibility for the past three years.   During that time, I have not been made aware of any concerns raised about cemeteries on our properties.   We have made an effort to keep these areas fenced and cleared of brush and other overgrowth.   There was a time last summer when a storm caused a tree to fall across a fence at one of the cemeteries on the Meadowbrook Farm, but that has long since been repaired.   This spring we intend to trim again and to treat any undesirable growth with herbicides. > >We take seriously the protection of these plots which remain so very important to the families they represent and to the Commonwealth's history.   > >Please feel free to call on me, or our Director of Farms, Michael Judge, 859-622-1310, if we can be of any assistance. > > >Doug Whitlock >Vice President for Administrative Affairs >Eastern Kentucky University >CPO 35A Coates Administration Building >521 Lancaster Avenue >Richmond, KY  40475-3102 > >Office:  (859) 622-2197, Coates Room 214 >Mobile: (859) 200-2864 >Fax:  (859) 622-5014 > >E-mail: [email protected] >

All, copy of a letter I sent to several KY Senators today regarding KY Bill 572. Hope many of you share the same feelings on this issue as I: Dear Kentucky Senator, Beginning in the late 1700s, six (6) generations of my Kentucky Pioneer, Park Family were buried in Kentucky soil in Nelson, Estill (Irvine and Wagersville), Madison, Lincoln, Clark, and Boyle Counties. In my frequent exploration of their final resting places, I have been witness to and cried over the desecration and neglect of their stones and surrounding grounds. Some of these rural Park Family cemeteries have been vandalized and leveled by unfeeling construction companies. Although, I am proud to have written and published a book in memory of my KY ancestors in Madison and Estill Counties, in particular, the travesty of their final resting places continues to haunt me and many other descendants who are Kentucky Citizens with roots in the commonwealth, by virtue of their courageous pioneer ancestors. If it were not for these brave pioneers, we would not be, and neither would Kentucky. One tragic example of this neglect is the Park-Miller Cemetery on the grounds of the Eastern Kentucky University Farm in Richmond, near the silos, where cattle have been allowed to trample the graves of many of my ancestors there, including Rev. John Mills Park (1806-1877) and wife, Martha Oldham (1812-1851). EKU Farm workers are aware of the fence that is down around it, yet for whatever reasons, the University has not taken action to resurrect it in order to keep the cattle out or to restore the damage to the tombstones already done there. To this day, my ancestors' tombstones on the EKU Farm are still being crushed and defecated on by unknowing cattle--despite letters to EKU by members of the Park Family of KY. This and other cemetery neglect throughout Eastern Kentucky, is a disgrace to my family, our state, and to the pioneer history that enriches us all. The lives of our Kentucky ancestors are the very fabric of our ideals and values we continue to today, for all of us who live in and adore the Great Commonwealth that is Kentucky! And this is how we choose to remember our Kentucky Pioneer-Ancestors?! I say NOT! Surely, it is not the legacy they imagined for themselves and their families prior to their passing. It is disrespectful, irresponsible, and heartless to fail in preserving their memory with both dignity and admiration. As a Kentucky Colonel, I respectfully ask you to PLEASE push KENTUCKY Bill 572 -- Kentucky Historic Cemetery Preservation Program in the KY Senate! I am told that although it passed in the House of Reps, it has yet to receive any attention in the Senate. Won't you please help! My father was born in Richmond, KY, graduated from EKU. I have many cousins who still live in the Bluegrass state; the majority in Madison and Estill Counties. In fact, some who are members of the Estill Co. Historical Society, are trying to do what they can to preserve and restore these family cemeteries. But, it's not enough! We need this bill. My conscience says that anything less sends the wrong message to our people and sets a poor precedent for other forms of neglect in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky. Thank you for your attention and support. I hope to hear from you sometime soon. Respectfully, William "Doug" Park Kentucky Colonel

I received the following letter today from the KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL's Office, dated March 8, 2002. It would appear to me that NOW is the time for our KENTUCKY friends to contact their State Senators to urge the passage of KY House Bill 572, as it has passed the House of Representatives and now must pass the Kentucky SENATE. For more information on KENTUCKY House Bill 572, see: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/record/02rs/HB572.htm For more information on the KENTUCKY Attorney General's Task Force on the Preservation of Kentucky's Cemeteries, see: http://kyattorneygeneral.com/cemetery/default.htm For information on contacting YOUR KENTUCKY STATE SENATOR to urge passage of this bill, see: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/Whoswho/whoswho.htm I hope you will cross-post this message to other KENTUCKY e-mail groups that have an interest in protecting that State's pioneer cemeteries. Lois Mauk Indiana Pioneer Cemeteries Restoration Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp ======================================== TEXT OF LETTER FROM THE KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE -- Dear Friend: House Bill 572 passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 83 to 15 on February 20,2002. It was assigned to the Senate State Local Government Committee on February 26. The bill has not received a hearing in the committee. House Bill 572 was filed based on the recommendations of the 29-member Task Force on the Preservation of Kentucky's Cemeteries which included concerned citizens, representatives of the cemetery and funeral home industry, representatives of local, state, and federal government agencies, and universities. House Bill 572 will provide a long-term solution for Kentucky's cemeteries including: * Creating a statewide grant program, of up to $25,000 with local cash or in-kind match, to provide funding for equipment and other projects to fund maintenance and appropriate historic preservation projects for gravesites and cemeteries. The program would be jointly administered by the Kentucky Historical Society and Kentucky Heritage Council through the Kentucky Historical Society's Cemetery Preservation Grants Program; * Providing a tax credit and optional refund check off program for individuals to contribute to the statewide grant program to preserve local cemeteries; and * Establishing an Annual Kentucky Cemetery Clean Up Week preceding Memorial Day. The 2.2 million-dollars in funds for the preservation of Kentucky's cemeteries were recovered in consumer protection lawsuits. The Court orders for these recovered funds, which are currently not budgeted for any program, provide that they may be used for consumer-related purposes. The use of these funds must be approved by the General Assembly. The funding request for HB 572 is located within HB 507, which is the Budget Bill for the Executive Branch of State Government. The Attorney General's office is working diligently with Representative Reginald Meeks and Senator Gerald Neal to restore the dignity and integrity of the resting-places of our deceased loved-ones and the pioneers who built this great Commonwealth. Concerned individuals and organizations may contact their Legislators at 1-800-372-7181. Sincerely, /s/ Corey L.

Dixie, someone sent me info that Amanda was living with a family named Cain and Emma with a family named Ward, I do not know who these families were I have never heard these mentioned in connection with the family. I still do not know where Kate was, I know she married Sam Horseman but I do not know when or where. Age 1880 Kate Crow Born 1862 18 Amanda Rush Crow Born 1863 17 Emma Crow Born 1866 14 If you have the 1890 Daviess Co. census could you check for Amanda with a family named Helm. I have an old picture of a stern looking lady and on the back it says Malinda Day but the Day is marked out and Helm written in. It further says "this is Amanda' Rush Crow's Aunt that raised her".

Sorry Doug, I assumed you meant Independence, Kentucky. Can't help you out in Missouri.

Jacqueline: What are the names and ages of the three daughters? I may be able to pull them out of the 1880 CD. Dixie (SCOTT)

Is anyone going to any Dixon, KY cemeteries anytime soon? I am looking for an ancestor who might be buried somewhere in or near Dixon. His name was either James TAYLOR or William TAYLOR, and he would have died sometime between 1878 & 1880. He probably was young, between 18 and 30 when he died, and he left a wife and two daughters, possibly before the second one was born. Any help appreciated. Donna Reynolds

Can anyone tell me what cemeteries there are in West Point, KY, Hardin County. I have two relatives buried there in early 1900's, one DC just says West Point and the other is very blurred, but looks like "Long" cemetery. Thanks to anyone who can help. Names of the deceased are John Lovell, 1913; and Josie Blevens Lovell, 1911. Janet.

Doug, I am going down to Independence at the end of the month. Is that too later to help you out? If not, I will see what I can find. My dad lives just down the street from there and I have people buried there as well. Let me know.
