Louisville Metro Government has the cemetery listed as the Hackberry Cemetery, but it is listed in a book as the Stock Cemetery. It is located in the back of a house on Saunders Street, so it is actually accessed from Jane Street.
Philip Stock was listed in the 1850 census as Philip Stouch or Stouck (born in Germany around 1809). His wife was Elizabeth (born in Germany around 1810), and their children were Philip (born around 1838), Magdalena (born around 1840), Frederick (born around 1844), and Jacob (born around 1848).
According to the book, the Stock Cemetery was located in Crescent Hill about three squares southeast of the old Rastetter Home near Cavewood Avenue. The old Rastetter home is at 2213 Payne Street. Cavewood Avenue is now Clifton Avenue. The location of this cemetery definitely corresponds with that description.
The book lists two burials: Phillip Stock, died 1856, age 47 years; and Frederick Stock, born 1844, died 1856. It seems likely that Elizabeth Stock was also buried there, as there is a headstone fragment which is clearly a woman's stone.
Unfortunately, the headstones are broken, and there is no way to determine who is actually buried here. However, there was one footstone with the initials F.S., so I have placed Frederick Stock in the cemetery. The others I have had to list as unknown.
