The La Grange Historical African-American Cemetery received some much-needed attention this past Saturday from the local congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The cemetery is located two blocks north of Hwy.146 at the junction of Third and Fourth Avenues. The earliest burial documented at the cemetery is from 1849. It is the final resting place for 115 African-Americans who lived here in Oldham County.

State highway officials are encouraging drivers in Oldham County to slow down and be safer on the roads while two main infrastructure projects progress.

Construction crews have started work on an overpass to connect New Moody Lane and Commerce Parkway in La Grange, as well as to build a pedestrian crossing at Exit 17 in Buckner.

The projects coincide with the state’s Work Zone Safety Week, which is April 15 – 19 this year.

An Oldham County man arrested and charged with one count of sexual abuse has plead not guilty to that charge.

Kentucky State Police arrested Michael P. Berry, 36, March 20 in Elizabethtown, after interviewing Berry about the alleged abuse.

According to the arrest report, Berry admitted to a KSP officer that he committed sexual abuse of a female minor during a two-week period at his Oldham County home in late February.

An interview with the victim matched what Berry told KSP, according to the police report, which resulted in his arrest.
