Monuments to Col. Henry Woolridge’s Life and Final Resting Place
The Louisville Post profiles Col. Henry Woolridge, a longtime hunter and prominent bachelor in Mayfield, noting his life as a respected citizen. His Mayfield cemetery lot houses seventeen granite statues: four for brothers, two for nieces, two for foxhounds Towhead and Bob, plus life size depictions of a fox, deer, bear, panther, and his stallion Dick All. A marble bust atop a sarcophagus, an equestrian statue, and a bas relief rifle ornament his burial area, while a rosewood casket awaits his final summons. He is described as the region’s elder statesman of hunting who, at around age, spends time with kin and dogs and plans for death with dignity.
