History

Grove Cemetery encompasses over 77 acres including approximately 15 acres of undeveloped farm ground near Hardin Central School. In addition, St Mary’s Cemetery currently occupies 5 acres with an additional 5 acres of farm ground available for future use. St. Mary’s Cemetery is owned and controlled by the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church of Kenton. Grove Cemetery provides day to day maintenance of St Mary’s and conducts all of the interments there.

There are four areas of Grove Cemetery dedicated to the burial of veterans only. In addition to these veterans’ areas, there are two Medal of Honor recipients buried in Grove Cemetery along with many other local historical figures including General James Robinson. The Medal of Honor recipients are Jacob Parrott (located across drive from the Lawson Mausoleum) and Delano Morey (located in northwest corner of cemetery).

The large mausoleum located along Jacob Parrott Blvd on the northern edge of the cemetery is not owned by Grove Cemetery. It was built and operated by a now defunct private corporation called the Grove Cemetery Mausoleum Association.
