Add PhotosThe Herr and Rudy families were prominent landowners in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1700s-1800s. The home of George Vulcan Rudy and his wife, Eliza Herr (daughter of John Herr, Sr. and Susannah Rudy) was located at the Vulcan Rudy House at 4319 Westport Road. When Westport Road was widened, the graveyard was destroyed. With the widening of Westport Road and the development of a new subdivision on the old Vulcan Rudy land, the address of the house has changed to 1001 Westgate Place, but it is still listed on the National Register of Historic Places as 4319 Westport Road. This was thought to be the location of the graves of George Vulcan Rudy and his children, Emily Rudy and James M. Rudy. Eliza Herr Rudy's casket and remains were dug up in the most recent widening of Westport Road. She has been re-buried elsewhere. The Unknown Rudy graves 1-9 at Herr Cemetery #3 contain nine boxes of bones from the first widening of Westport Road, and may possibly be the remains of George Vulcan, Emily, and James.
