Mt. Eden Cemetery
Mt. Eden Cemetery is located on Highway 44 West in Shepherdsville, Bullitt County, Kentucky. It is about
7 miles west of Shepherdsville. To put this list together I contacted my cousin, John Moore, now one of
the trustees of the cemetery. His father was James Fletcher Moore who is buried at the cemetery. There
three list for me to put together into one, hopefully complete, list. One list was made by George Funk
when the remains were moved from what is not Fort Knox Reservation. There were a total of 292 remains
moved. Of these, one was moved to South Jefferson Cemetery located on Dixie Highway in Jefferson County,
Kentucky. This was Weeden Funk died 1909. He is also included in my list of Mt. Eden. The second list
I used was of the new graves after the removal from Fort Knox. The third list was one I made from the
headstones at the graveyard. The names in bold are of those stones. Any year dates that are like this,
1/1/61, should be 1/1/1961. When I put this on a spreadsheet it dropped the 19 off. I have tried to make
sure this is a complete and accurate list. If there are any mistakes in my typing I am sorry. If you
would like any more information I would be glad to try to find that for you. You can e-mail me at

THE HISTORY OF MT. EDEN CHURCH AND DEDICATION OF MY. EDENCOMMUNITY CEMETERY BY GEORGE L. FUNK 1958
MT. EDEN CHURCH AND CEMETERY, BULLITT COUNTY, KY

Mt. Eden Church was organized in 1820, in a log houseon the Mt. Eden road by the Reverend Richard
Tydings, one of the great Methodist preachers of his day. At this time the members would fight Indians
in order to hold services. In 1849, the first church was built and dedicated as Mt. Eden Church on ground
given by William and Mahaly Green (Jefferson County Deed Book 1, page 486) about two miles from the log
house. The first pastor of the church was Reverend Joseph Scobee. The log house was moved to a farm
across from Mt. Eden church and used as a home for the George Joyce family, who came from North Carolina.
The church was used as a Union Church until fire destroyed the building in 1879. The congregation then
met in different homes until the new church was built and dedicated as a Methodist Church in 1884, by the
Reverend L. B. Davidson, who served on this circuit for thirteen (13) years.
The ground for the building and cemetery was given by Mr. James Joyce. The building was built by
Mr. Sam Hornbeck, and the foundation and oak sills were laid by Mr. Richard Moore. The pulpit and chancel
rail was made by Mr. William Whiteman, and the pews were made by Mr. Sam Hornbeck.
Mt. Eden is the oldest place of worship in Bullitt County. It was a favorite meeting place in the
community, and the building was filled each
