Several prominent men and women featured throughout the history books rest in this historical place. Rows of beautiful flowers honor the many people who now rest in the Berea Cemetery. People such as President and founder of Berea College John G. Fee, William Goodell Frost, and John Bell Stephenson. All three men served to make Berea College into the institution it is today.
