    OLD CEMETERY TO BE RESTORED 

  Mr. J. E. CHAPPELL of this place, one of the last surviving members of the CHAPPELL 
family, well and highly respected Bullitt County Family for some 200 years, is sponsoring a 
move, to get. The Fort Knox Camp to fence and restore the Old CHAPPELL Ridge Cemetery. 
This cemetery was acquired by Fort Knox during the World's War No. 1, and is resting place 
of some five hundred to six hundred people whose names are prominently connected with the 
history of Bullitt County. 

The army people sent their representative here this week to visit this spot with Mr. 
CHAPPELL and seems to be favorable to the plan of cleaning, fencing and restoring this fine 
old cemetery to its original beauty. 

This is perhaps the largest and one of the oldest cemeteries in Bullitt Co. and it, is found 
such family names as The CHAPPELL, The ARNOLDS, The FOSTERS, The GOLDSMITH, The HIBBS, The 
McAHRONS, The BLACKS, The JEFFRIES, The CLOSES, The JENNINGS, The (OONGROVES?). The
FERGUSONS, The KEYS and many others.  

It is said that practically no damage has been done to this cemetery since it was taken 
over, quarter of a century ago.
