Read More	The Herr and Rudy families were prominent landowners in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1700s-1800s. Originally, this cemetery was on the property of John Herr, Jr. and his wife, Susan Oldham Herr. The main house is still standing, and is located at 1705 Lynn Way. This is in the Graymoor-Devondale subdivision off Herr Lane. The entry to the subdivision is at Herr Lane and Boxwood Road, approximately ½ mile north of Herr Lane and Westport Road. Take Boxwood to Lynn, and the house is on the corner. It is a fabulous Italianate mansion, formerly the Magnolia Stock Farm, which was quite prominent in its day. Turn left onto Lynn Way, then turn left onto Arrowwood Road. The cemetery is located behind the house which now stands at 7211 Arrowwood Road, which would have been part of the Magnolia Stock Farm when it was in use. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of May 25, 2015, the cemetery is maintained by the City of Graymoor-Devondale. It is at the back of the driveway of the Arrowwood house, surrounded by an iron fence. The cemetery is approximately one block from the “big house.” This seems to be the way that many family cemeteries are configured-they are on a family farm or property, not too far from the house. John Herr, Jr. and his wife, Susan Oldham Herr, are buried here, as is their son, Conway O. Herr. (John and Susan’s son, Albert G., also owned the mansion. He was the one who enlarged it into the Italianate style, but he and his wife are buried at Cave Hill Cemetery). John and Susan’s headstones have toppled from their bases. John’s is very hard to read, but Susan’s is quite clear (although it is lying on its side). Conway’s stone is an obelisk, and it is in good condition. Conway’s stone has the following epitaph: “I shall know the loved who have gone before, and joyfully sweet will the meeting be when over the river, the peaceful river, the Angel of Death shall carry me.” (submitted by Ellen White)
