Text:

"Old Caney Station Cemetery - The Caney Station cemetery, the oldest known burial ground in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, has disappeared from its original location. Many of the stones of the cemetery have been moved numerous times until now they rest in a location several hundred yards from that spot laid out as a sacred burial ground by the first residents of the Greenville area in about 1795.
"Gayle Carver, of Greenville, who takes such history seriously, is urging that a permanent monument be erected at the site of the original Caney Station and Caney Station cemetery on the T. T. Kennedy farm one and one half miles northwest of Greenville on the Luzerne Road. Caney Station was abandoned as a community when Greenville became the county seat in 1799, and soon, the cemetery was also abandoned and fell into disrepair under a growth of vines and brush. From time to time the stones have been moved about by previous land owners until now they are far from the original sites of the graves. Many of the county’s pioneer and civic leaders are buried in this cemetery, unmarked by any monuments at all. This includes the remains of two congressmen, who served in Washington in the fledgling years of this county. They are Alney M. McLean and Edward Rumsey, whose positions in life should warrant them more respect than their current burial places now offer."
