The Little
Colonel's Parent's Gravesite
Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY
Section P
(map)
This is just off the hilltop circle in section P,
near the CW Gheens Mausoleum (background)
|
John Hoadley Cochran
Feb 14, 1867 - July 16, 1936
"Papa Jack" |
Amelia Weissinger Cochran
Sept 8, 1867 - Dec 22, 1934
"Mrs. Sherman" |
In addition, there are a number of family
graves at this site that may help with the genealogy of the family.
We're not sure what the relations are here, or whether they have any
interest or impact on the Little Colonel Stories, but they may, so
are included for reference and perhaps answers to future research..

The general site from another angle. The
Little Colonel's parents are in the center (facing away), perpendicular to the graves
in the foreground.

Harriet Hoadley Cochran
*Sept 25 1833, + Feb 3,
1922
Archibald Prentice Cochran
* Mar 21 1823, + Mar 26 1889
(the Little Colonel's paternal grandparents)
(Little Colonel's parents are in the rear)
|
And in front of those those two graves,
another row of Cochran's:
 |
 |
 |
James Bridgeford Cochran *July 16 1891, + April 4,
1899
John Heywood Cochran, July 28, *1902, + Sept 6 1915 |
Belle Lee Cochran *Dec 17, 1893, + Sept 25 1930 |
Margaret Lee Cochran * May 5, 1867, + May 31, 1935
Heywood Cochran *Nov 19 1867, + Aug 1, 1931
(Heywood is the Little Colonel's uncle) |
Children of Heywood & Margaret Lee
→
cousins to the Little Colonel |
|
These must be other family members, but we have only guesses as to
the relations. They are The Little Colonel's cousins, uncles,
aunts perhaps?
From Census records:
1880
Archibald Cochran, age 57, born in PA
wife Harriet age 47, born NY
children Helen, age 17; Heywood, age 16;
Octavia, age 14; Hoadley age 12.
Which seems pretty conclusive that Archibald
Prentice Cochran (1823-1922) and Harriet Hoadley
Cochran were the Little Colonel's paternal
grandparents.
1900
Margaret is listed as the mother of 3
children, 2 living, which would account for
James Bridgefo rd who
died in 1899.
1910
Heywood Cochran, age 45; wife
Margaret, age 42; children Belle
age 17; Archie, age 12; John age
8
(Heywood
was the Little
Colonel's uncle
and Belle Lee
and John Haywood
Cochran and
probably James
Bridgeford
Cochran were her
cousins.)
