Maple Grove Cemetery

MAPLE GROVE CEMETERY

BLOOMFIELD, KENTUCKY

These are the Greer gravestones in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Bloomfield, Kentucky. Hopefully, I have pictures of all these and their correct placement. These graves are in two imperfect rows on the right side of the cemetery as you enter it. They are in the front half of the right side.

These stones are in same row as James and Elizabeth Greer's graves.

This is a very large stone with the following:

We could not read the top part of this stone. I believe it is in line with the others above.

At Bottom of stone

"Father and Mother for me
Waiting in glory for thee"

This row is nearer the highway and this above grave is farther from the road.

At the bottom of his grave is the inscription " thy will be done".

Died 26 July 1863


Farther from the road than the above graves is one for

William R. Milton
15 January 1805
22 July 1833

I would guess this is a younger brother of Elizabeth Milton but I do NOT know this for sure.

It was a beautiful day. We visited the cemetery after we had made pictures of where Samuel Greer built his home near Bloomfield, Kentucky. Near there, we also saw the beautiful home of Elizabeth Milton. It was recently purchased by two physicians and has been renovated. In order to get to this area, take Highway 62 from Bardstown and continue til you get to Highway 162 or "Old Bloomfield Road". Jack Briggs now owns the farm that Samuel Greer once owned. It is difficult to get to the location of the DAR marker. You can go through the Jack Briggs farm or continue along Highway 162 to a mailbox that says "Sparrow" on it. It is about 0.7 mile from the Jack Briggs farm. The Elizabeth Milton home is near here.

The Maple Grove Cemetery is located in Bloomfield, Kentucky.

As is always the case, no matter how careful, I left out a grave. I know it is there since I have a picture of it. I do not know its placement however.

This is another of the sons of James and Elizabeth Greer.
