I found this memorial because I was researching an article in the Herald-Leader
(Lexington, Kentucky), 30 Sep 2016, about a cemetery in Madison County that appears to be
abandoned. I can send you a copy of the article - my email address is [email protected]

One of the person mentioned in the article was "..Cpl. Sidney Todd, a Union soldier
from Irvine with Co. F, 14th Kentucky Cavalry, who died in 1863 at age 35. Eighty men
from that regiment died from disease, according to a "battle unit details"
search function on the National Park Service's Civil War web page".

Bluegrass Memorial Cemetery appears to be the cemetery mentioned in the Herald-Leader.
All the surnames mentioned in the article are in this cemetery.

Just thought you might be interested in the article.
