Farris Family Cemetery
London, Laurel County, Kentucky, USA
Farris Family Cemetery is located on private property, adjacent to North Main and just off Reuben Street in north London. The cemetery had been forgotten and overgrown and the property was tied up among heirs. New property owners acquired the land and began clearing away for a small farm and rediscovered the graves. There are six burials here. The cemetery became known to FindaGrave volunteers and Historical Society in 2023.
Among the burials here are George Farris, an optician who was born in Syria, and Henry Hopma, whose family settled in Michigan but immigrated from the Netherlands. Also buried here is Fred Catching, who is a direct decendant of slaves. Catching's family on both parents' sides were slave servants to some of Laurel County's more prominent families of those times - the Catching, Pearl and McKee families.
Please obtain permission from the owners to visit the property.
