(also known as
Moro,
Location:
In Moro, between Hwy 238 & Hwy 78 on the south side of Hog Tusk Creek
This
old cemetery is located in the middle of a field on a tree-covered mound. It is grown-up, and from personal
experience, I know that there are yellow jackets, chiggers, and poison ivy
everywhere. A lot of stones are
broken, and the grounds appear to have quite a few 4-wheeler trails
throughout. The earliest
burial we could find was that of Polly Miller in 1859, however it is believed
that there are older burials.
Jane Hartley and I started transcribing it on
September 11, 2005. My mother,
Martha, and my brother, Darrel, also assisted. After the yellow jackets ran us off, I
went back the next day with my sister, Cricket, and my niece, Randi, to record
the additional stones. You can
click on the names below to view photos of each stone.
