Demonbreun Cemetery clean-up and history From Mike Watson Several descendants of Felix Demonbreun are planning a volunteer clean-up of his grave and the small cemetery where he is buried, Cox No. 2 Cemetery, located within Mammoth Cave National Park, from 9amCT to 5pmCT on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Cox No. 2 Cemetery is a small cemetery with only about six graves, located in a forested area on the eastern side of the park. Volunteers will report to the park's Science and Resource Management Office at 9amCT for a briefing before going to the cemetery. Tasks include clearing the footpath to the cemetery, removing weeds, sticks and grass from around the headstones, cleaning headstones and generally clearing the area around the graves. Felix Demonbreun (1789-1868) was veteran of the War of 1812, a farmer, and a Baptist preacher. The cemetery is in or near the area called Strawberry Valley where Demonbreun once had a farm. Felix and his wife, Mary Ann Cagle, moved to Adair County from northern Tennessee around 1830 before moving to the part of Green County that is now located within Mammoth Cave National Park. Felix and Mary had at least nine children. Several of his children lived and farmed in Adair and Metcalfe counties. Descendants of Felix spelled their last name several different ways, including DeMontbrun, DeMumbrum and DeMunbrun.
