Glenda Mounger *****Thank you Abigail for posting this.****** We awaite Part II Subject: TIP #530 - THE CONFEDERATE HOME AT PEWEE VALLEY - PART 1 >> TIP #530 THE CONFEDERATE HOME AT PEWEE VALLEY - PART 1 >> >> Many years after the close of the Civil War, individual states began the >> operation of Confederate Homes; a retirement facility for the veterans of >> the war. Kentucky established their Confederate Home for the inform on 17 >> March 1902. The Daughters of the Confederacy and Confederate veterans >> bought a home called Villa Ridge which had been a Victorian summer resort >> in Pewee Valley, Oldham County. The then governor, J. C. W. Beckham was > > the >> host at it's opening 23 October that same year. Barely two years later, > > the >> Confederate Home had approximately 300 old veterans in residence. It is >> noted that the most famous gathering was that of 25 of General John Hunt >> Morgan's Raiders who lived there. The building burned on 25 March 1920 >> leaving only one wing that was large enough to house a few of the > > veterans. >> >> More than 700 soldiers resided at the Confederate Home during its >> operation but when it closed totally in 1934, there were only five > > soldiers >> left there. Several times during its existence a proposed sale was made as >> it was extremely costly to operate the home; the Daughters of the >> Confederacy were successful in stopping all but the last sale. The State >> Legislature approved the property sale on 17 March 1934 and voted to pay >> the remaining veterans of the Confederacy $800 a month. Those still >> residing there were transferred to the Pewee Valley Sanitarium, and in > > June >> of the same years, the doors closed on this period of history. >> >> I have been unable to obtain a list of all those veterans who resided >> there, however, the manuscripts, records and listings are held by the >> Kentucky Historical Society and the Boone National Guard Research Library >> in Frankfort, one of which has the originals, one on microfilm. >> >> Pictures of the Confederate Home can be found at: >> http://www.littlecolonel.com/ConfederateHome.htm >> >> There is a cemetery where many of the old veterans are buried; records >> indicated there are 313 burials. In 1952, the state restored the cemetery >> which had become overgrown and in great disrepair and it was re-dedicated >> in 1957 by Gov. A. B. Chandler. It is now under the operation of the >> Kentucky State Parks Department. Listed below are the burials that I could >> find that have been recorded there; I have no further information on any > > of >> the names. My thanks to those who have transcribed the cemetery.
