Cemetery Index

This is a listing of all currently known persons that were laid to rest in Central State Hospitals two cemeteries, Strawberry Hill and Peace on Earth. It is believed that Strawberry Hill is the older of the two, as Peace on Earth is listed as being used in the late 1960’s shortly before the discontinuation of burials on the hospital grounds. This listing is constantly being updated as new information is found.

Note: Entries have been cross-referenced with available Central State Hospital death ledgers and on hand Kentucky death certificates. Highlighted entries have not yet been confirmed by death certificate data.

Be sure to scroll both vertically and horizontally to access all of the information in the index.
