Hi All, I would like to finish my little walk with you in Maple Grove Cemetery in Nicholasville, before I get it off my mind. This is a nice cemetery. It is maintained and under the care of the City of Nicholasville. As you walk the winging road to the back of the cemetery, the older section. You can't help but nosiest several rolls of head markers, all lined up neatly. After closer look you will see that they are all Confederate Soldiers. Now strange. I wonder how that happened? Well! you know I going to tell you. About five miles south of Nicholasville is Camp Nelson. In the Civil War, this was one of the largest recruitment centers, and supply depots in the eastern United States. A short time after the War Congress past a act, to establish National Cemeteries. Camp Nelson became one, as it is today. The government began the grim task of gathering the remains of soldiers from Perryville and other battle site, and bring them back to Camp Nelson. No discrimination was made. The Black Solder, White Solder, Confederate, or Union, they were all treated the same. After the dust settled, and thing quite down a bit, the good folks of Nicholasville, (being mostly Confederate) desided that didn't want their Confederate sons buried down there, with that bunch of Yankees. So, once again the remains were removed and reburied at Maple Grove. A funny note to this story. A few years ago it was discovered, that their were still two Conferederate Soldiers buried at Camp Nelson. The good folk of Nicholasville had missed them. Their graves had been mis-marked with Union Headstomes. But, rest easy Civil War buff, they now have Confedered Markers.
