Colonel Sanders Grave How can you go to Louisville and not pay homage to the man who brought us delicious fried chicken?
[Scott Mobley, 02/12/2008]When you visit, you may want to look to the left and pay respects at the grave of Margaret Josephine Sanders, daughter of the Colonel and his forgotten first wife.
A couple of years ago, I traveled to Louisville, with my father to attend the funeral of my grandfather, Robert M. Brammer.
From the funeral home, we went to Cave Hill cemetery to attend the service. The funeral service was going well, and I started to glance around at the cemetery (which is quite beautiful), then I noticed across from my grandfather's grave is a gravesite complete with a bust of Colonel Sanders. I contained my laughter, but still let out some sort of muffled chortle.
After the funeral service was over, I talked with my father about the Colonel; it seems my grandfather was well aquainted with the Colonel, and really liked him. My grandfather described the Colonel to my father as a likeable, eccentric business man.
So if you're ever at the Cave Hill Cemetery visiting the Colonel, say hi to my Grandfather for me!
