A very unique monument is the one erected to the memory of Thomas N. Lindsey (1807-1877). lawyer. statesman and writer.
Only a few inscriptions can be found in any part of the cemetery which are out of the ordinary. In this class is that of Dan Driscoll (1855-1886), which is as follows:
"Here lies the body of a much lamented youth.
For sense distinguished, and esteemed for truth.
Now he was beginning to bloom.
But alas! he left his mother too soon."

On another is found "Keziah B. Johnson. As much of virtue as could die."
Mrs. Jane Madison, wife of Governor George Madison. is buried in the Madison lot on the brow of the hill near the Boone monument. Mrs. M. Train Runyan, a noted teacher of young ladies. and Mrs. Agnes Brawner Franklin, one of the noted teachers of Frankfort, and many other excellent women are buried in these grounds.
Mrs. Eudora Lindsey South (1852-1918), teacher and author, wife of Rev. J. K. P. South, established Excelsior Col- legiate Institute in 1878. She ranked well with the educators of the State. Her two books. "Wayside Note and Fireside Thoughts," published in 1884, and "Luther in Rome." pub- lished in 1890, were well received by the reading public throughout the country. She also wrote many poems and articles for magazines, which received much favorable com- ment.
Mrs. Jane Stephens Stout (1799-1872). known by the many Confederate soldiers whom she befriended during the Civil War as "Aunt Jane," was a strong southern sympathizer and gave liberally of her time and means to help the South in the great internecine struggle.
A great many of the monuments found in these grounds are of artistic design, and some of them were expensive. That of Alexander, located near the chapel, is said to have cost ten thousand dollars. Those of L. A. Thomas, Hiram Berry, George B. Macklin, R. P. Pepper, and many others are expen- sive and well designed.
Recently the tomb has come into great favor : several very handsome ones have been placed here during the past few years. In this class can be named that of John W. Rodman. George Baker. Rov. George Darsie, Governor Buckner. Wm. E. Brad- ley. and others.
Including Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn. Governor of Panama. there are thirteen Governors buried in these grounds, to-wit: Governors Christopher Greenup. Charles Scott. George Madi- son. John Adair and James T. Morehead are in the State lot about one hundred feet south of the State monument.

Perhaps no other cemetery in all the world is more beauti- fully located than the one at Frankfort.
The natural scenery of these grounds and their surround- ings are unsurpassed. To this natural beauty has been added much by skilled landscape gardening. The protection which has been given to the birds in the cemetery has caused many varieties to make it their home.
The excellent superintendent now in charge (1920), who is versed in botany and ornithology, says there are sixty-two varieties of trees now growing in these grounds. all or nearly all of which are indigenous to Kentucky.
There are also found about twenty-five varieties of birds which make their homes, during the summer season, among these trees.
A list of the trees include the following named varieties : The largest varieties are the white pine and sycamore. The pine was brought down the river by Robert Carmichael. the first superintendent of the cemetery, who took charge in 1845. Among the evergreens are the hemlock, juniper, arbor vitae. Norway spruce and silver fir. The shrub evergreens, Fox. holly. mahonia, and southern magnolia are found here. The wahoo is also found here. There are all the varieties of the maple. Norway, red, sugar, Japanese, birdseye and silver. To the variegated foliage is added the blooms of many trees, in- eluding the catalpa, both red and white dogwood. juncherry.

red bud, horse chestnut, wild cherry and the double bloom peach. The maiden hair, white fringe, Normandy poplar, smoke tree, purple leaf beech, purple Norway maple and linn, black and red haw, ironwood, all the varieties of the catalpa, the red elm and English elm.
The varieties of oaks include red, white, pin, burr, and cork bark. There are the blue and white ash, tulip. poplar, ent leaf weeping birch, European larch, varnish tree, service berry, willow, boxelder, hickory, Washington thorn. black gum, Eng- lish alder. chestnut, sassafras, walnut, Colorado bhie spruce, hackberry, cedar, beech. cottonwood, pecan. butternut. mocker- nut, shagbark hickory, chinquapin, sugar, rock and winged elm, sugarberry, mulberry, osage orange, tulip, cucumber and umbrella trees, pawpaw, hazel, wild yellow plum, coffee tree, yellow bud, leaved hop tree; the hollies. black, red and striped mountain maples, buckeye, buckthorn, linden. basswood, an- gelica, tupelo, great laurel. sour wood, silver-bell, red, green and black ash, with a profusion of flowering shrubbery in all parts of the grounds: roses of every kind, lilacs, spirea in three varie- ties, golden dell, rose of Sharon, crepe myrtle, peonies, several kinds of magnolias, snowball, wygelia dentzia and hydrangea. The arboretum found here is perhaps more nearly complete than that found in any other collection in Kentucky.
The list of birds which has been given includes the fol- lowing: Thrush, robin, red-bird, which has been designated by James Lane Allen as "The Kentucky Cardinal," blue-bird. eat-bird, mocking bird, kinglet wren, creeper, warbler, swallow, finch, humming-bird. oriole, lark and several varieties of wood- peckers. There are also found a few squirrels and chipmunks.
It is difficult to find, on a summer afternoon. a more in- teresting place than Kentucky's Necropolis.
Here lie three poets of national note. two historians. the greatest sculptor America has produced, the greatest scout and Indian fighter, whose history sounds like fiction. a great law maker who relieved the Nation and the State from that in- cubus known as imprisonment for debt, lawyers. statesmen. soldiers, inventors and men of note in every walk of life: here is the history of Kentucky carved in granite and marble.

HISTORY OF THE FRANKFORT CEMETERY
As you walk through the streets of this beautiful "City of the Dead." and read the history. the heroic acts, the self-sacri- ficing conduct of these men and women, you have a feeling of exaltation, and you are impressed with the idea that the ground on which you tread is holy ground : that it has been consecrated by having deposited therein the mortal remains of the greatest and best which the world has known.
On the day set apart for decorating the graves of Ken- tucky's honored dead, June. 1920, the following lines were read as a tribute to Kentucky's noted dead:
KENTUCKY'S NOTED DEAD.
Distinguished dead. Kentucky's honored great.
We come your grave to decorate : Our treasures of frankincense and myrrh We place upon your sepulchre.
You are living still. your honored name
Is written on the scrolls of fame ; The examples of your life so shine, They make your grave the pilgrim's shrine.
Your course of action has defined The secret longings of your kind : The achievements which you have wrought Are the best exponents of your thought. Brave your deeds, deathless your name. Great your fame, as wish could claim ; Pure in purpose, strong in strife, For the common weal you gave your life.
The foundation of this State is laid Upon the record which you made ; Your life has been a guiding light To teach the world the way of right. Those who died on foreign earth, Far from the land which gave them birth; From the land they went to save We claim the ashes of our brave.
65
HISTORY OF THE FRANKFORT CEMETERY
Kentucky has, with generous care. Brought home her dead from everywhere; With a mother's love she did create This, Westminster Abbey of the State. Your sacred dust has in this ground A resting place of honor found, A place in which both Church and State Have dedicated to the great.
Woman, with true and gallant heart, Has always borne as brave a part As anyone has ever found On tented field or battle ground : Always gentle, kind and true, Man never failed to find in you, As mother, sister, friend or wife. The very best there is in life.
Virtue, immortal, virtue-woman's namc. How dim. how shadow-like is fame: How weak are all the powers of earth, Compared to that which gave you birth ? Here your precious dust is found Near this stone, beneath this mound : In memory of your love and power We place thereon a fragrant flower."
