This is interesting. Thought you might want to see this: Friday, 19 June 1914--OLDEST GRAVE IN HOWARD COUNTY--A grave stone ninety-five years old stands in the cemetery at New Hope church in Bonnefemme township, according to Col. J. L. Dougherty. The stone indicates the age of Mr. Walker as being 100 years seven months and twenty-two days old, so that the occupant of the grave was born way back about 1719 or some fifty-seven years before the Revolutionary war. The stone is in a fair state of preservation and that inscription is legible. The information regarding this grave was not given direct to the Advertiser but through B. W. Taylor, a local insurance man, who vouches for the accuracy of the figures. There are, doubtless, many other graves in Howard county with markers of equal interest, as Howard county is an old county--Fayette Advertiser.
