INDEPENDENT RESEARCH SITE OF:
OLD UNION CHRISTIAN CHURCH CEMETERY

FAYETTE CO., LEXINGTON, KY
GRAVE LIST

My name is David Shannon and I am not affiliated with the Old Union Christian Church or the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery.
I am sharing research information I have gathered based on family memories and information gathered from actual tombstones.   Most information gathered is directly from the gravestones at the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery on Russell Cave Road in rural Lexington, Kentucky.  This area is known as Loradale.   My grandmother was Dora Harp Griffin.  Although my grandmother is buried elsewhere (Bluegrass Memorial Gardens) many of her family members are buried at the Old Union Christian Church Cemetery including her parents, my great grandparents, Lloyd & Julia Harp.  My purpose is two-fold. I hope if you are searching and find this site it is helpful to you...  and if you can provide more information of my family history, please contact me.  If you have records that show someone is buried at this cemetery, but not on my listing, please contact me.  I can be contacted at this link:

Death Certificates shown are available from  "Kentucky Death Records, 1852 - 1953".

Death Certificates are a good source for additional information. Most include birth date, death date, parents name, cause of death, residence at time of death, and other information. There are mistakes on grave inscriptions as well as mistakes on Death Certificates. It is always good to check both items for information.

( * ) - Help with the transcription information from this stone provided by the 1995 Eagle Scout Project of Stephen E. Oakes. Permission was granted by Stephen for me to include his work on my site. Some of the stones that were legible in 1995 have deteriorated to a point that transcription is nearly impossible. Some of the stones he was able to record cannot be found at the time of this project. Thanks to Stephen and those volunteers that helped him with his Eagle Scout project in 1995.
