CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

In 1987 there was no trace of grave.

o----------o

This old family cemetery is 20 feet off Moore Road on the Porter family 
property. It is hidden in the scrub tree line at the base of a huge, rotten tree 
stump. This small cemetery was originally about 10' X 20' with a brick border. 

It was kept clean by the Porter family till the 1950s when a county road crew 
began working on Moore Road and a bulldozer ran over the cemetery breaking the 
tombstone. If the tombstone is still there, it is covered by 60 years of 
undergrowth. All that is remaining is a few scattered bricks and cemetery grass 
(Vinca or Periwinkle).
 
Ken Porter remembers the three (3) graves of George Stone, his wife, and their 
child. The George Stone family owned and lived on the property during the Civil 
War. George Stone had the only marked tombstone.
