THE GRAVE OF GENERAL JOHN EDWARDS KING
Burkesville, Kentucky, is the county seat of Cumberland County. Nearthis little town was located 'Melmont' , the home of Gen. John EdwardsKing, born December 21, 1757, died May 13, 1828.
Melmont was a very extensive farm, lying in a fertile valley between tworanges of mountains. At this time, December 3, 1947, little remains ofthe old home and there is nothing left of the stables, barns, outhousesand other buildings. Of the original house nothing is left except two orthree rooms and the old stone walls of the basement and foundation. Thewalls of the original portion are of logs but are now covered over withweather-boarding on the outside and ceiling on the inside so that nothingof their original strength and beauty can be seen.
The family burying ground is located a few hundred yards from the oldhouse. It is situated on a hill which juts out into the valley from therange of mountains behind, and this hill is about two hundred feet abovethe valley floor. On the hill is a heavy growth of old cedars and theground is covered with a soft carpet of creeper vines. The view of thepeaceful valley from the little cemetery on the hill is very lovely andmakes an ideal place of rest for the dead.
There are ten or twelve graves, all marked with small marble slabs. Nopretentious shaft rises to mar the quiet simplicity of the place.
General King's grave is marked with a small slab like the rest. At thetop an angel, carved in low relief, holds a wreath and trumpet, and belowis the inscription:
