Biographical History
Historical note: The Lexington Cemetery was established in 1849 by a number of prominent Lexington citizens in response to the need for a unified, hygienic, and convenient burial site. It replaced scattered pioneer family burying grounds and overcrowded churchyards. There have been more than fifty-seven thousand interments in the cemetery. Among those buried there are Henry Clay, James Lane Allen, John Cabell Breckinridge, Mary Breckinridge, General John Hunt Morgan, William H. Townsend, and Adolph Rupp.
