PAXTON CEMETERY

This cemetery is at 1776 Bond's Mill Road on property owned by Nellie Perry (in 2010).
The rock walled-enclosure can be seen from the road; and is in the side yard of the house.
Richard and Mildred Burris Paxton are the maternal grandparents of James Cash Penney Jr.,
who started the well-known chain of department stores.
His parents, JC Sr. and Mary Frances (Fannie) Paxton Penney, emigrated to Missouri.
It was reportedly JC Penney Jr that had the stone wall surrounding the cemetery built
on finding the original fence dilapidated on a visit to Kentucky.
