For Part 1 of our tour we saw Ephraim Edward’s spooky looking plot 120 and the Blake plot at the top of section 1 near the shed, so now proceed south on the second road nearly to the end. Looking right, find a large boulder sitting in Section 3. The engraving on the large rock says ARBOGAST and a smaller one to the side has a name and dates. Benjamin Franklin Arbogast, born in 1829 in West Virginia, married Cinthia Nicholas in 1855, and made his way with wife and family to the “promised land of the west.” By 1865 they arrived in Lexington and, as a carpenter, he prospered and remained for the rest of his life. Their family included 8 children.
