HISTORICAL CEMETERY SIGN

The Parker Moore Graveyard constituted only a small portion of the family farm, left in Lewis Moore's 1841 will to his wife Patience. In the years between 1835 and 1940, Civil War veterans, family, friends and four generations of the Moore's were buried in the "old Parker Moore graveyard." There are 170 known graves, some without markers. The last burial at the site was Elizabeth Upton who passed away in 1940 at the age 91.
