Stone Cemetery takes its name from Daniel Stone, an early owner, and its oldest tombstone carries the date 1793. Its principal use began in the 1860s at the time of the Civil War and the creation of the State of West Virginia by President Abramam Lincoln. Restoration of the cemetery began in 2002 by William H. Muntzing, formerly from Moorefield, West Virginia, whose mother’s Stone and Kiser ancestors are buried here. Through care of sacred burial grounds, ancestors are honored and remembrance binds families to generations to come.
