MISSOURI REUNION A GREAT SUCCESS Although
attendance was down slightly from previous years, the reunion of
the John H. and Susan Gravatt Bandy family descendants, held 11:00
am, June 10, 2001 at the Bourbon Community Center in Crawford Co.,
Mo. was reckoned to be a great success by everybody. There was a wide spread of attendance. Among the 87
people at the reunion were those from Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa,
Virginia and Indiana as well as Missouri. The oldest person was 96 years
old and the youngest was only 10 months old. We had a very delicious
carry in pot luck meal and there was a silent auction to help cover
expenses. There was also a very interesting display of items of
our family history. Kentucky
Bandy Cemetery IN poor condition The Bandy cemetery
in Breckinridge County, Kentucky near Garfield is now in a poor state of
repair reports Maurice E. Bandy. Maurice remembers seeing it on a
visit in the early 1940s, with his Grandfather and Great Uncle. The
cemetery is located at the South East Corner of Route U. S. 60 and
Kentucky Route 86 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. The cemetery
faces U. S. 60 and is unmarked but can be seen clearly from the
highway. George (son of Richard #1) and his wife are buried there
along with most of the Bandys that remained in Breckinridge
County. There is a second cemetery on The George Taylor Bandy Farm
located about 3 miles east of "The Bandy Cemetery" on U.
S. 60 and Kentucky 333 (Webster Road). The others are buried in
cemeteries in Cloverport, Hardinsburg, Irvington, and churches in the
countryside.
