NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad.

A historic site in Louisville, Kentucky, a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom listing, Burial Site of Madison and Kitty Smith at the St. Louis Cemetery is filed here for what the record attaches to it. NPS-listed historic site associated with the Underground Railroad. It sits in the archive under dark history, Underground Railroad history and the Underground Railroad. The dossier holds 2 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The site is open to visitors.

The Smiths are the bought — the 'purchased freedom' that's the pair freed, the '1837 married' that's the future bishop blessed. The 'Indiana farm' is the sheltered — the '29 miles from Ohio' that's the station's distance, the 'Jennings County' that's the settlement joined. The 'segregated slope' is the laid — the 'East Slope' that's the Black section, the '719 souls' that's the unmarked field.
The 'Catholic conductors' is the rare — the 'enslaved Catholics' that's the faith kept, the 'Archdiocese endorsed' that's the church's honor. The 'returned for weddings' is the stayed — the 'witnessed sacraments' that's the ties kept, the 'son's grave' that's the '68 joined. The Smiths are the risked — the 'arrest, kidnapping' that's the NPS's words, the 'free then helping' that's the courage doubled.
The file keeps the Smiths: the bought freedom, the Indiana farm, the segregated slope, and the Catholic rare.
Madison and Kitty Smith is the archive's Kentucky file — the conductors who were once cargo.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Smiths are the archive's Kentucky file — the formerly enslaved who ran the station.
A slope keeps its conductors — the file's suggestion being that the Smiths' hold is the turned: the 'bought freedom' that's the self-made, the 'farm sheltered' that's the risk returned, and the 'segregated grave' that's the honor late.
