Description

Pause here to learn about one of the more colorful and troubling figures of Kentucky’s Civil War era. Sue Mundy was the wartime alias of Marcellus Jerome Clarke, a Confederate guerrilla who operated in Kentucky during the conflict. His story reflects the confusion and violence of border-state warfare, where local loyalties, military service, and guerrilla activity often overlapped.

The marker offers a concise history lesson for travelers exploring Franklin and Simpson County. Read it as a short stop on a walking or driving tour, and as a reminder that Kentucky’s Civil War history reaches well beyond the better-known battlefields.
