"According to family legend, Maple Grove Cemetery is on land belonging to Robert Chatham Bowling (b. 19 Feb 1820 in Clarksville, Montgomery, TN / d. 3 Mar 1886 in Russellville, Logan, KY). Robert Chatham was the firstborn of James Butler & Sophronia McLean (Ewing) Bowling. He was a Circuit Court Judge and his home in Russellville was called "The Maples". His father's home in Adairville (built about 1831-34 and still standing now at 608 Main Street [Hwy 431]) was called "The Cedars". As far as I can ascertain, Robert Chatham lived and practiced in Russellville; however, his father died in 1878 so he should have inherited The Cedars then.
Robert Chatham married Lucy Croghan Temple (b. 22 Sep 1824 in Auburn, Jefferson Co., KY / d. 21 Mar 1900 in Adairville) on 7 Jan 1845 in Logan County, KY. Lucy was the granddaughter of General Jonathan Clark, oldest brother of George Rogers and William Clark. Robert Chatham and Lucy had 6 children: James Robert, Temple, Ella, Elizabeth, Anne Beckett, and Lula. I'll take them in order:
James Robert Bowling (b. 11 Mar 1846 in Russellville / d. 29 Sep 1901 in Adairville). He married Emma C Walters (b. 15 Dec 1845 in Parke Co., IN / d. Dec 1919 in South Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., CA [she was living with her son, Dr Robert Walters Bowling {b.1871}, at the time of her death]. Emma was the oldest child of John S {1816-1872} and Roxana L (Jones) Walters. Roxana (b. 29 Nov 1825 in KY / d. 11 Aug 1899 in Adairville [findagrave# 81455663]) was living with James & Emma after her husband died. James Robert had a hotel in Russellville -- in the 1880 US Census quite a few family were living there (Roxana & George S Walters [Emma's mother & brother] along with Temple, Ladie & Ula Bowling) -- but my grandfather lived in Adairville in The Cedars before he went off to college.
Temple Bowling (b. 10 Aug 1849 in Russellville / d. 9 Jul 1884 either in Montgomery Co., AL or in Russellville because he and his family are in the hotel in Russellville in 1880. However, his wife Ladie Mary Anderson lived the remainder of her life in Montgomery, AL.
Ella Bowling (b. 10 Aug 1851 in Russellville / d. 22 Mar 1920 in Nashville, Davidson, TN) married James B Umphrey 21 Sep 1886 -- it really is Umphrey and it became a family name for a line of men linked to the Temple Bowling line. There are at least 3 Umphreys that I know of and Temples are up to V (the fifth).
Elizabeth or Lizzie Bowling (b. 12 Jul 1853 in Russellville / d. abt 1887 in Staten Island, Richmond, NY). Lizzie never married and could be one of the 2 unknown headstones. Ella, Lizzie, Annie, and Lula are all living at home in Russellville in 1880 Census -- Lula, Ella and Annie married in 1881, 1884 and 1886 respectively.
Anne Beckett Bowling (10 Jul 1857 in Russellville / d. 6 Nov 1896 in McGehee, Desha Co., AR). Called Annie, she could be the stone with a readable date of 1896. Annie married George William Eichelberger (b. 28 Jul 1855 in Richmond, Chesterfield, VA / d. 14 Mar 1920 in Vincennes, Knox Co. IN) who is buried in the Trippe Cemetery, Trippe Junction, Desha, AR (findagrave# 41563011) as "father of Roberta Trippe". Annie was Roberta's mother but she is not buried there so the Maple Grove headstone is very possibly hers.
Lula Bowling (b. 10 Dec 1859 in Russellville / d. 3 Jan 1936 in Owensboro, Daviess Co., KY) married George Harrod Holeman 26 Oct 1881 in Russellville. Their firstborn was Lucie McGinnis Holeman (b. 9 Jul 1883 in Russellville / d. 15 Jan 1959 in Louisville, Jefferson, KY) who never married -- #81455622 has McGinnis as her maiden name. George Harrod Holeman (b. 13 Aug 1856 in Frankfort, Franklin, KY / d. 30 Sep 1943 in Louisville, Jefferson, KY) was a pharmacist and worked for the Panama Canal Zone Company, according to the 1920 US Census.
The family story about Lula was how she stood at the fence of her family's property in Russellville when she was about 4 years old and yelled, "Damn Yankees!" as the Union soldiers marched past.
