Kentucky Life takes you to Covington's historic Linden Grove Cemetary in Northern Ky. Linden Grove Cemetery was established in 1843 on the property of the Western Baptist Theological Institute and as the city grew, it eventually surrounded the 22-acre graveyard. Linden Grove is the final resting place for many veterans, beginning with the War of 1812, as well as northern Kentucky's culturally diverse population of rich and poor, black and white, Union and Confederate. Among those buried there are women's rights activist Dr. Louise Southgate and Dr. Adam Kelly, an early African-American physician. The cemetery is the largest green space in the urban core of Covington, according to cemetery officials. In the northeast corner of the cemetery, the Nancy Slagle Memorial Grove offers a shaded retreat. Linden Grove Cemetery was honored in 2011 by Northern Kentucky Urban and Community Forestry for "Outstanding Community Forestry Project."
