Virginia, My mother died in 1983 an my father in 1988. Will you look in the cemetery book and see if they are listed? Their names are Courtney Allen Combs and Gene E. Combs. Lynda ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Lynda: What a fabulous present! My 1988 book was purchased by my parents, who passed it on to me when I became interested in genealogy. My mom has also given me the deed to two graves in the Frankfort Cemetery, next to her mother who died in 1927 (she and my dad will be buried at Camp Nelson). So I have a special feeling for the Frankfort Cemetery. I am related to all of the Nolands buried there, also all of the Kaze people there, plus many of those surnamed Sullivan and Bell, as well as others, going back to the late 1800's. I use my two books in tandem -- the 2005 book published by the cemetery is in alphabetical order while the older book was recorded by volunteers walking the cemetery and recording writings on gravemarkers, so shows who is buried next to who (good for discovering / confirming relationships). You are welcome to pass my e-mail on to your daughter. I know your daughter will find that book useful and interesting!

Thank you Virginia! Thats really sweet of you. I live in Frankfort and just wanted to purchase a Frankfort Cemetery book for my daughter for Christmas. I'll go by the cemetery soon and see if they have any of the 2005 copies left.

Hello Ann: Thank you very much! I am guessing that is my Louise "Lou" R. Kaze who was born 18 June 1915 in Franklin County to parents William Kaze and Lucy Harrigan (Vol. #58, certificate #28762). The last finding I had of her was in the 1920 US census, living with her family in Haviland, Franklin Co, KY, where she is identified as "Lou R. Kaze". Thanks again.

I would be interested in acquiring this book also, Jennie. You can send information (please and thank you) directly to me at [email protected] I would be interested in a hard cover, if they are still available, but would be satisfied with a soft cover. I would ask you to do lookups for me...but I have found the families I'm looking for to be interconnected to so many others, it just seems easier to have the books at hand.

Hello Brenda: Here is the information that I have on my relations that are buried in Green Hill Cemetery. I have not yet visited the cemetery to see if they have gravemarkers, but I would guess not since this branch of the family was quite impoverished from what I know. When I am back in KY next spring, I will take a walk through the cemetery to see if I can locate any gravemarkers for them. My information was obtained from viewing the originals of the death certificates that Ancestry.com has recently posted on their site. William Kaze, residence Clinton Street, Frankfort, KY File #24399 White male, divorced, occupation = laborer Died 24 Oct 1935 from Lobar Pneumonia and Influenza; place of death Franklin Co, Frankfort, KY Burial 25 Oct 1935 in Greenhill Cemetery Death cert gives "don't know" in response to birthdate, age, parents names & birthplaces. However, according to his entry in the 1930 US census, his age is given as 52, so he would have been born about 1878. Informant on the death certificate - Mrs. Geo. Kaze (my direct ancestress, Mrs. George Jesse Kaze, born Sarah Elizabeth Parker) Undertaker: Banta Funeral Home, Frankfort, KY Cecil F. Kays Residence 410 Washington Street, Frankfort, KY File #50-26215 Died 18 Dec 1950 from contusion of brain resulting from automobile accident on 15 Dec 1950, 3:20 pm. Burial 21 Dec 1950 Green Hill Cemetery, Frankfort, KY Place of death Peewee Valley Hospital, Peewee Valley, KY (Oldham Co) White male, married, occupation = construction laborer Birthdate 03 Nov 1924 (Note: Ky birth Index on-line lists his birthdate as 03 Oct 1922; discrepancy not yet resolved) Parents: Willie Kays (the William Kaze listed above) and Lucy Harrigan Informant: Mrs. Cecil Kays (I don't know anything else about her; have not yet located their marriage info). Funeral Director: Harrod Brothers, Frankfort, KY. Christopher Columbus Kase Residence: Wilkinson Street, Frankfort, KY File #51-23924 Died 06 Nov 1951 of pulmonary tuberculosis, after 4 years illness Burial 09 Nov 1951 in Green Hill Cemetery, Frankfort, KY Place of death: Ky. State Hospital, Danville, KY, where he had been a patient for 4 years White male, single, no occupation. Born 01 Jan 1922, age 29 (but he is listed on the 1920 US census with his parents, siblings, as a newborn, so I suspect his actual year of birth to have been 1920). Father's name unknown (but I know him to be the William Kaze listed above, mother's name Lucy Ellis (so perhaps she has remarried?). Informant: hospital records Funeral Director: Harrod Brothers, Frankfort, KY There were two other siblings that I am aware of, but have not yet located their death certificates, so do not know where they were buried. James W. Kays (born 18 Jan 1918, died 03 Dec 1984, both in Franklin Co, KY). He is NOT buried in the Frankfort Cemetery. Louise "Lou" R. Kaze (born 18 Jun 1915, Franklin Co, KY) - I have no information for her beyond her appearance with the family in the 1920 US census, in Franklin Co, Ky.

Exactly what I was thinking, Virginia, and so glad I could give you a little more information. It's always such a thrill. And as a note to all of the [KY FRANKL] readers: Brenda and Anne will also do an excellent job on reading cemeteries. I have one of Brenda Duvall's books on the Peaks Mill Cemetery in Franklin County. I have to say that I wish I had a book exactly like this one on every single cemetery and county and person I am working on. Brenda, thank you, I am still finding things to add to my family history. I will absolutely never regret purchasing this book. Ann Minter At 04:45 PM 11/11/2007 -0500, you wrote: >Hello Ann: >Thank you very much! >I am guessing that is my Louise "Lou" R.

Anne Lee Holder and I are gathering information on this cemetery right now. We have found it is not all African-American burials, as you mention. If anyone has information of burials, particularly where no stone is present, Anne and I would like to know.

Thanks for all the information, it does give me a few leads to work on. A couple of observations though. If you notice that in the 1900 census William Hamilton is listed as 79 year yet his birth year is in listed as 1930, this census taker obviously is mathmatically challenged. As to the 1850 Census, it is uncertain who H. NATION is. G.W NATION is interesting because his wife's name is Melvina. William Hamilton NATION name one of his daughters Louisa Melvina. Since William Hamilton NATION and Elizabeth DAVIS had 15 children (only of them are known), it is unknown whether Louisa Melvina was the first daughter or not. As for G.W. NATION he was born about 1811, he would have been only 9 years old at the time of William Hamilton NATIONs birth. I am wondering if G.W. NATION and William Hamilton NATION are brothers. And if H. NATION is William Hamilton NATION and he married Elizabeth DAVIS in 1848, where is Elizabeth? Regards, Lance

Here is what I have about William: According to the 1920 US census of Franklin Co, KY: William KASE was aged 45 (so born about 1875, born KY, both parents born KY), white male, married, living with his wife Lucy (age 21, born KY) and three children: Lou R. Kase (daughter, age 4 yrs 5 mo, so born about 1915), James W. Kase (son, age 1 yr 10 mo, so born about 1918) and son Christopher C. Kase (age 0/12, so born about 1920). According to the 1930 US census of Franklin Co, KY: William KAYS was aged 52 (so born about 1878, born KY), white male, divorced, living with his two sons: James Kays (age 14, so born about 1916) and Christopher Kays (age 11, so born about 1919). According to KY Death Records: William Kaze, white male, divorced, died 24 October 1935 in Frankfort, Franklin Co, KY. Cause of death was influenza and subsequent lobar pneumonia. Buried 25 Oct 1935 in Greenhill Cemetery, Frankfort, KY. The informant on his death certificate is listed as "Mrs. Geo. Kaze" (my direct ancestress Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" Parker, wife of George Jesse Kaze). Unfortunately, "don't know" is listed for his age, date of birth, birthplace, parents & their birthplaces (the ignorance on these facts of Mrs. Kaze is understandable -- by this time her husband George had been deceased for 3 years). According to KY birth records: Vol.58, cert # 28762 (1915): Daughter Louise R. Kase was born 18 June 1915 to mother Lucy Harrigan. Vol. 3, cert #1351 (1918): Son James W. Kase was born 18 June 1918 to mother Lucy Harrigan. Vol. ____, cert# ______ (1922): Son Cecil F. Kazer (sic) was born 03 Nov 1922 to mother Lucy ________(sic) [Note: no birth record has yet been located for son Christopher C. Kase). According to KY death records: Cecil F. Kays, born 03 Nov 1924, Franklin Co, KY, and died 03 Nov 1924 in Oldham Co, KY According to KY death records, Vol 35, cert #32043: James W. Kays, born 18 Jan 1918, died 03 Dec 1984, age 65, residence Franklin Co, KY, burial Greenhill Cemetery, Frankfort, KY. According to KY death records, Vol 48, cert #23924: Christopher Columbus Kase, age 29, born 01 Jan 1922 Franklin Co, KY & died 06 Nov 1951 in Danville, Boyle Co, KY at the Kentucky State Hospital of pulmonary tuberculosis, after a 4 year stay. His normal place of residence listed as Wilkinson Street, Frankfort, KY, father unknown, mother Lucy Ellis (so perhaps she remarried?), buried Greenhill Cemetery, Frankfort, KY. Listed as single, never in armed forces. Does anybody have any further information on these people? What happened to the daughter Louise R. Kase?

Hello Ann: Saw your reference to the book "Church and Family Graveyards of Franklin County." Would you be willing to look up any entries on the surnames Noland (sometimes mis-spelled "Nolan") and Kaze (sometimes spelled Kase, Kays, and Kayes)?
