Linden Grove Cemetery. Founded in 1843 on land owned by the Western Baptist Theological Institute, this is the final resting place of American veterans since the War of 1812. In 1997, the GAR and veteran’s monuments were placed on the National Register of Historic Places and, in 2001, the cemetery was added. (Reverse) Buried here are Thomas Kennedy, original land owner of Covington; B. F. Howard, founder IBPOEW; U.S. Congressmen John W. Menzies, William E. Arthur, William W. Southgate, and John G.
